Ludwigsburg track attendant Nuri Dogru: Safety for the industrial train!

Anyone who travels in Ludwigsburg is sure to know the regular, usual rattle of the industrial train to the Lotter company. If you take a closer look, you quickly notice that there is a reliable track attendant behind it. Nuri Dogru, who has been in charge of this train for 30 years now, is an important part of the region's rail network. He ensures that everything runs smoothly and has been doing so for 35 years at Technical Services Ludwigsburg. The train, which travels from the Kornwestheim marshalling yard to the Lotter company several times a week at lunchtime, crosses the street eleven times - but everything still takes place with a certain degree of safety, even if Dogru has observed a few accidents with cars. Fortunately, he himself has not had any personal incidents.

The route of the industrial train stretches for around two kilometers through Victory Street, Gänsfußallee and Grönerstraße. While there are traffic lights in two places, it is often Dogru's job, as well as that of his colleague from DB Cargo, to play the “human traffic lights” and direct traffic. He has mastered such challenges well over the years. “Safety comes first,” he says, as he takes care of checking the tracks, removing sand and grit, lubricating the switches and monitoring the gauge. If something breaks, he informs DB Netz for repairs.
