Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The railways in Germany use several codes to differentiate between various types of stops and stations. Bf - Bahnhof (railway station).'', defined as a place where trains may start, end or change directions, and that has at least one set of points. Hbf - Hauptbahnhof, the central station of a larger city. Also the only internal code one will commonly find on station signs. Pbf - Personenbahnhof (passenger station), usually used to differentiate in places that have several types of stations, but only one passenger station. Rbf - Rangierbahnhof (marshalling yard). Gbf - G terbahnhof (freight station). Bhf - Betriebshof (locomotive depot). Bft - Bahnhofsteil (station part), used when a station consists of several parts, for example a Pbf and a Rbf. Hp - Haltepunkt, (halt) a passenger stop that does not fit the requirements to be a Bf. Defined as allowing passengers to board and disembark from trains at a place where no set of points is in the vicinity.
