Bahnbetriebswerk Vacha, Railway depot in Vacha, Germany
The railway maintenance facility features a ring-shaped engine shed designed to service locomotives and railroad equipment for the Werra Valley railway network.
The facility operated from the early 1900s until 1974, serving as a crucial maintenance point for steam locomotives including Prussian P 8 and G 10 models.
The Traffic History Association of Middle Werra Valley purchased the engine shed in 2009 to preserve railroad heritage and maintain historical vehicles.
The depot currently houses several vintage locomotives and railway vehicles, including a shunting locomotive and track maintenance machines from Tann.
The facility served as a testing ground for the Blue Tiger locomotive and later transformed into a deployment point under the management of Eisenach depot.
