DÜWAG

The Duewag AG was one of Germany's major manufacturers for rail vehicles. The business was sold in 1999 to Siemens transportation.

History

The company was founded in 1898 as Waggonfabrik Uerdingen AG in Uerdingen and produced rail vehicles under the brand DÜWAG. After the merger with Düsseldorfer Waggonfabrik in 1935, railway vehicles were built in Uerdingen, whilst the Düsseldorf plant produced mainly local traffic vehicles, namely tramway and light rail vehicles. In 1981, the company changed its name from Waggonfabrik Uerdingen AG to Duewag AG and began to use the Duewag spelling. Duewag was sold to Siemens in 1989 by Talbot from 1996 Siemens began to consolidate its rail vehicle production facilities and the division was subsequently absorbed in 2000 now producing Siemens Combino vehicles. In 2002 a new 6000m² entrance/office building was built at the plant. The last tramcar to be manufactured at Uerdingen was in 2012 with production of the new Avenio model moving to Vienna however commuter and high speed vehicle production remains at the plant.

Never Far Away

by: Take 5

Everything I do Is all done for you
Lady I'm yours
And everywhere I go
You're always on my mind
You're all I adore
And I'll go
Outta my way
Just to assure
That our love endures I'm yours
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To keep you nice and warm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To protect you from the storm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'll be there I'll be right there
I don't need you say
That I love you
A million times a day
Just the little things I do
All done for you
That's how I display
Love
And I'll go
Out of my way
Just to assure you baby
That our love endures I'm yours
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (right there)
To keep you nice and warm
(Girl I'll keep you nice and warm,
You know I'll keep you nice and warm
You know I'll keep you nice and warm)
Girl I'm never far away I'll be right there (I'll be right there)
To protect you from the storm I'm rushing right home
Girl I'll be there I'll be right there
You don't have to go and check my pager
Check my phone and search my pants to figure me out (ha)
Cause I'm an honest man
Don't need a plan, a stronger man
Cause girl there is no doubt
My love's real (as real as it comes)
Even though we are a million miles away from each other
I'm still right here, right here for you
(Here for you, here for you) I could search a million years
And still I wouldn't find anyone as beautiful as you
So rest assured our love endures I'm never far away...
