Goods for Potttendorf

The goods traffic is based on a small terminus in Oberfranken and whilst there are only modest freight facilities, logs and sugar beet were loaded in the yard. 

 

 

Something is needed to shift the beets stuff into wagons in the yard. Last year, Artitec released a Bischoff Polytrac crane which is small and interesting. It will be used to load beets into open wagons in the siding as manual loading was tedious.

Timber 

 
The sidings would have been used for shifting other actual local products, timber but 50 years ago loading was achieved wiith ingenuity and mandraulics as the only methods.

Finally,  
Another local product was ceramics, a local speciality, (Pottendorf is a corruption of ‘village of pots’) these were sent in wooden crates by van traffic attached to passenger workings.
