The Szczecin Glinki Station is one in Szczecin ( Stettin preferred) operating agency in line km 15.665 of the branch line Szczecin Gł - Trzebież Szczeciński

Location and structure

The station is located at the border between the Szczecin districts of Stołczyn (Stolzenhagen) and Kraśnica (Kratzwick), the name, which has been valid since 1947, is derived from the nearby settlement of Glinki . The former reception building is located at ul. Kolejowa not far from ul. Nad Odrą. The station has a 200-meter-long central platform without roofing on tracks 1 and 2, which is connected to the reception building via both ground level and a pedestrian tunnel. Three additional sidings and passing tracks are available for freight traffic. The control and safety systems are controlled from the signal box Si.

history

The branch line from Stettin to Jasenitz was primarily intended to ensure a year-round connection between the neighboring towns, as they had previously handled their freight traffic primarily via the Oder . After two years of construction, the Züllchow  - Pölitz section was opened for all traffic on October 1, 1898. The station went into operation on the same day for passenger and goods traffic, with the exception of vehicles and animals. In December 1907 the name was changed to Stolzenhagen-Kratzwieck .

By 1908, the Kraft Eisenwerk and Union Fabrikchemischer Produkte settled near the station , which led to such heavy rush-hour traffic that a platform tunnel had to be built in 1913.

Even before the First World War , the Royal Stettin Railway  Directorate , which has been in charge since the opening, began acquiring land for the double-track expansion of the line, which in 1918 was limited to the Pommerensdorf - Kratzwieck - Cavelwisch section (Odermünde since 1929). In 1925, the Stettin Reich Railway Directorate set up a railway construction department that was supposed to push ahead with the double-track expansion. Among other things, two signal boxes were built in Stolzenhagen-Kratzwieck to replace the towers from the opening time. In a report from the summer of 1932, the RBD Stettin presented the station to the main administration of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . This consisted of an upper part with two 600-meter-long crossing tracks, a 380-meter-long passing track and a siding on the one hand, and a lower part with the loading line, some side tracks and the connecting tracks to the fertilizer factory of Union AG and Eisenwerke Kraft. Heavy freight traffic was recorded in the spring when the fertilizers were delivered and when the river Oder was low. In this case, the field mill in Odermünde obtained its coal from the railway. The handover trains were formed in Stolzenhagen-Kratzwieck. In March 1932 there were around 160 wagons a day leaving for Odermünde. On May 20, 1942, the Reichsbahn began double-track operations between Stolzenhagen-Kratzwieck and Odermünde. The section from Stolzenhagen-Kratzwieck to Züllchow was presumably in operation until the end of 1942, making the entire Stettin - Pölitz route accessible on two tracks. In 1939 Stolzenhagen was incorporated into Stettin, and from then on the station was located in Stettin territory.

Due to the demarcation after the Second World War, the station came to Poland. The station was initially called Stolec Krawcz , then from February 1, 1947, Glinki Kraśnica, and from July 16, 1947, the current name, Szczecin Glinki . Presumably, the second track was dismantled shortly after the end of the war as a reparation payment by the Soviet Union. In the mid-1960s, PKP expanded the line to Jasienica again to double-track , and electrification with 3 kV DC voltage followed in 1982 .

In the 1990s, the PKP initially thinned the timetable; from May 2000, only six pairs of trains were planned between Szczecin Główny and Police, three of them to Trzebież Szczeciński. On October 1, 2002, the official suspension of passenger traffic on the route followed. The second track was dismantled after the setting. The station building was converted into an apartment. The station currently has the highest shunting volume along the route. It is followed by the Fosfan fertilizer factory and the Skolwin paper mill.

outlook

As part of the Stettin S-Bahn project , the station is to be reopened for passenger traffic. The originally 200 meter long central platform is to be modernized to a length of 130 meters and covered over a length of 50 meters. Access should be via the existing pedestrian tunnel. The bus stop at ul. Nad Odrą will in future be located at ul. Kolejowa. It is planned to rename it to Szczecin Stołczyn.
