DKV Brno-Maloměřice, Rail depot in Maloměřice district, Brno, Czech Republic

The DKV Brno-Maloměřice is a rail depot in the Maloměřice district whose central section consists of two halls for the repair and maintenance of diesel and electric locomotives. Between the two halls stands a traverser (přesuvna) that moves vehicles sideways from one hall to the other. The site also holds a hall with an underfloor wheel lathe, electronic rail scales and, since summer 2006, a programmable washing plant.

The original Brno depot at the lower station was built from the early 1850s, first as wooden huts, then with a turntable, an oil store and coal dumps for steam locomotives. Modern halls and extensive tracks were later built in Maloměřice, where operations began on 1 October 1964 as Lokomotivní depo Maloměřice. In August 1994 the Brno dolní and Brno-Maloměřice depots merged, and from January 1995 locomotive and carriage depots were combined as DKV Brno.

Railway workers in the area refer to this facility by the informal name Majlont, a colloquial term that reflects their connection to the neighborhood and shows up regularly in everyday workplace talk.

The facility includes a modern washing station built in 2006 that can be programmed for different locomotive types to suit various cleaning needs. An electronic rail scale is available for accurate measurements and supports maintenance operations.

The depot's central section consists of two halls for repairing and maintaining diesel and electric locomotives, with a transfer table between them. A hall housing an underfloor wheel lathe and electronic rail scales stands alongside, and since summer 2006 a programmable washing plant serves individual vehicle types.
