Aussig-Teplitz Railway
The kk privileged Aussig-Teplitz Railway (ATE), officially Czech from 1919: Ústecko-teplická dráha (ÚTD) was a private railway company in Austria and its successor state Czechoslovakia , whose routes were in today's Czech Republic .
history
The company's first railway line was built in 1858 to transport the lignite mined in the North Bohemian Basin around Teplitz to the Aussig Elbe port . The further expansion of the route in the direction of Komotau was quickly continued in order to also connect the coal mines around Dux and Brüx . On October 8, 1870, it was connected to the Buschtěhrad Railway in Komotau. In the following years the 69 km long line from Aussig to Komotau developed into the most heavily used railway line in Austria-Hungary . Was as a supplement in the year 1874 the route Bilin / Dux- Türmitz in Bielatal opened to relieve the main route between Dux and Aussig.
The North Bohemian Transversal Railway Teplitz– Reichenberg was built as a further ATE line in the years 1897–1900 . However, this unfavorable line did not meet expectations. Above all, the steep slopes and narrow radii in the Bohemian Central Uplands and also when crossing the Jeschke ridge meant that long and heavy trains could not be transported.
On January 1, 1923, the Aussig-Teplitz Railway was nationalized as one of the last large private railways in Bohemia. The vehicles and routes were transferred to the ownership of the Czechoslovak State Railways ČSD.
While the Aussig – Komotau line has retained its importance to this day, the Teplitz – Reichenberg local railway lost its through traffic in the 1930s. The trains between Eger and Reichenberg, which previously ran on this route, have been running via the Tetschen junction since then and only use the North Bohemian Transversal Railway between Bohemian Leipa and Reichenberg.
