Summary

O Trem do Corcovado é uma linha férrea localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A linha começa em Cosme Velho e segue até o cume do Corcovado, a uma altitude de 710m. O cume é famoso pela estátua do Cristo Redentor e pela vistá aérea de várias praias do Rio de Janeiro. A linha possui 3,8km de extensão e utiliza um sistema de tração elétrico. A linha foi inaugurada pelo imperador Dom Pedro II em 9 de Outubro de 1884. Inicialmente utilizava tração a vapor, sendo que o sistema de tração elétrico foi instalado em 1910, se tornando pioneiro no Brasil. Em 1980 a linha foi modernizada com a compra de trens da empresa SLM, sediada na cidade de Winterthur, Suíça. A linha férrea do Corcovado é uma das poucas que ainda utilizam um sistema elétrico trifásico, possuindo, assim, dois cabos aéreos. A linha possui 4 trens, cada qual com dois vagões. O trajeto é completado em cerca de 20 minutos, sendo que um trem parte a cada meia hora, o que dá ao sistema uma capacidade de transporte de 360 passageiros por hora. Devido à capacidade limitada, o acesso à estação pode levar horas. A estação funciona das 8:30h às 16:30h. Ao longo de seus anos, o Trem do Corcovado já recebeu vários passageiros ilustres, como o Papa Pio XII, Papa João Paulo II, Alberto Santos Dumont, Albert Einstein e Princesa Diana. _________________________________________________________________________ The Corcovado Rack Railway (Portuguese: Trem do Corcovado, "Corcovado Train") is a mountain railway line in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The line runs from Cosme Velho to the summit of the Corcovado Mountain at an altitude of 710 m (2330 ft). The summit is known for its statue of Christ the Redeemer and its views over the city and beaches of Rio. The line is 3.8 km (2.4mi) long. It is a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3⅜ in) gauge rack railway using the Riggenbach rack system. The line was opened by Emperor Dom Pedro II on the 9th October 1884. Initially steam hauled, the line was the first railway to be electrified in Brazil in 1910, and was re-equipped in 1980 with new trains built by SLM of Winterthur in Switzerland. Corcovado Rack Railway is one of the few remaining railways using three-phase electric power. As a result, the railway has two overhead wires, at 800V, 60Hz. There are four trains, each made up of two cars. The rail trip takes approximately 20 minutes and departs every half hour, giving a passenger capacity of 360 passengers per hour. Due to the limited passenger capacity, the wait to board at the entry station can take several hours. The year-round schedule operates from 8:30am to 6:30pm. Over the years the line has been ridden by many famous people, including Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Albert Einstein and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Die Corcovado-Bergbahn führt auf den 710 m hohen Corcovado, einem der Wahrzeichen der 6-Millionen-Metropole Rio de Janeiro. Die meterspurige Zahnradbahn nach dem System Riggenbach wurde 1884 eröffnet. Den Gipfel konnte man allerdings erst ab dem 1. Juli 1885 erreichen. Der Auftrag für die Bahn wurde bereits am 7. Januar 1882 durch Kaiser Dom Pedro II. erteilt. Die beiden Ingenieure Teixeira Soãres und Francesco Passos erhielten eine Konzession für den Bau der Bahn. Im Jahr 1910 wurde die eingleisige Strecke durch die Sulzer AG aus der Schweiz elektrifiziert. Sie war damit die erste elektrisch betriebene Bahn in Brasilien. Die Corcovado-Bergbahn ist einer der wenigen Bahnen, die mit Drehstrom fährt. Sie hat daher zwei Oberleitungen (für zwei Phasen), ebenso wie die Jungfraubahn und Gornergratbahn; die dritte Phase bildet die Schiene. Der Ausgangspunkt der Bahn befindet sich in einer Höhe von 40 müNN. In 25 Minuten fährt die Bahn auf 680 m Höhe bei einer mittleren Steigung von 16,7 %. Der steilste Abschnitt ist bis zu 30% steil. Bergauf wird mit maximal 15, bergab mit 12 km/h gefahren. In den 1979 bei der Schweizerischen Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik (SLM) in Winterthur angeschafften Fahrzeugen haben maximal 121 Personen Platz. |
