Bratislava Main Station - Bratislava, Slovakia - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

[EN]
The first station building, at Sancova 1, now serves as the headquarters of the railway police. It was built in 1848 as the terminus for the Vienna - Ganserndorf - Bratislava (Pressburg) and Breclav - Bratislava (Pressburg) lines. The second building, which is used to this day, was built after the completion of the Budapest - Sturovo - Bratislava line around the 1850s. The third building, colloquially called "Sklenik" (meaning "Greenhouse"), was built in 1988 as an extension to the existing second building. In 1883, a connection was added to the Bratislava-Raca station, which was connected to the line to Zilina.

At first, the station also had freight loading and unloading facilities. One unique feature was the "vinovod" ("wine transport system"), which consisted of tubing from the station to the Paludaj family's wine cellars. Gravity flow drew wine from trains into barrels in the cellars. The station also had a ropeway conveyor to the "Patronka", which was a factory that produced ammunition cartridges, colloquially known as "patrony". As passenger traffic increased, freight operations were progressively relocated to other stations in the city.

Prva stanicna budova (sucasne sidlo GR Zel.policie na Sancovej 1) bola postavena v roku 1848 ako koncova pre trat Bratislava - Ganserndorf - Wien. Zakratko po dobudovani trate Budapest - Sturovo - Bratislava bola postavena aj druha budova, pouzivana az do sucasnosti. Tretia budova "Sklennik" bola sprevadzkovana v roku 1988 ako pristavba druhej budovy. V 1883 vzniklo spojenie do stanice Bratislava Raca, kde bolo napojene na trat do Ziliny.

Zo zaciatku bola v stanici nakladka a vykladka nakladnych voznov (existoval tu aj "vinovod" a nakladna lanovka z "Patronky" - tovarne na naboje v rovnomennej casti mesta), postupny narast osobnej dopravy ju vsak uplne vytlacil do inych stanic. Rusnove depo ako sucast odstavneho kolajiska bolo vybudovane az po likvidacii toho povodneho, ktore sa nachadzalo v priestore sucasnych nastupist 3 - 5.
