The Utting station is the station of the municipality Utting on the Ammersee Railway between Mering and Weilheim . It is served in regional traffic by the Bavarian Regiobahn (BRB).

location

Utting is located in km 33.2 of the Mering – Weilheim railway line . The neighboring stations are Schondorf in the north and Dießen in the south . The Riederau and St. Alban stops are also located between Utting and Dießen .

The train station is located in the east of the village, about 200 meters from the Ammersee , where there is a shipping pier and the beach. There is also a bus stop at Bahnhofplatz.

Investments

The track systems consist of the continuous main track on a central platform and a siding on the house platform. There was also a loading track connected to the siding from Schondorf, on which the access switch was expanded in 2009. Originally the loading track had a spigot to the goods shed. This was expanded in 1997 after the goods loading facilities were closed, and the shed is still in poor condition. A since the Second World War from the direction Schondorf from siding, behind the exit signals, branching off siding to cast the company Dykerhoff & Widmann was closed in 1996 and dismantled in July 2000th Until it was closed and rebuilt between 2005 and 2007, the plant had extensive track systems, some of them in narrow gauge.

history

Corrugated iron hut as a station building, here in St. Ottilien

While most of the Ammerseebahn opened in the summer of 1898, the 12-kilometer section between Schondorf and Dießen, on which Utting station is also located, was the last part of the line on December 23, 1898. Initially, a corrugated iron hut served as a reception building, as initially little traffic was expected.

In 1903 the Bavarian State Railways replaced this with a brick-built three-storey station building with a crooked roof and six dormers . To the north there was an open waiting hall and an outbuilding with the station toilets. At the same time, a goods shed that has been preserved to this day was built south of the building.

In 1936 and 1937, the Deutsche Reichsbahn converted the station building. It was lengthened by four meters and the crooked roof was replaced by a gable roof with eight dormers. Part of the open waiting hall was converted into a closed waiting room. The Reichsbahn relocated the technical equipment that had previously been outside on the platform in a newly constructed signal box.

The waiting hall in the reception building and ticket issuance were closed when the signal box was renovated in 2008.

On February 28, 2018, there was a near-accident in Utting station with two passenger trains of the Bavarian Regiobahn . While the train from Schongau was standing on the platform, the return train from Augsburg was directed to the same track. The driver initiated an emergency stop so that a collision could be prevented.

Security technology

Signal box Utting

Utting station is served by a mechanical signal box of the standard design, which was put into operation in 1937. At the beginning of 2019, the interlocking was equipped with the technical monitoring of the route as one of two pilot interlockings .

Railroad Crossing

The level crossing at the level of the town hall immediately to the north of the train station is secured by a full wire barrier that is operated mechanically with barrier winches and wire rope hoists.

ESTW Dießen

On November 28, 2009, an electronic signal box (ESTW) of the Scheidt & Bachmann type went into operation on the ground floor of the station building , from which the neighboring Dießen station is remote controlled. The local mechanical signal box was shut down and the shape signals were replaced by Ks signals . This signal box is operated by a second dispatcher who is not responsible for Utting station.

Since February 2011, the Lagerlechfeld train station and the connecting switch in Oberottmarshausen, both of which are located on the Lechfeldbahn from Bobingen to Kaufering , have been remotely controlled by the ESTW.

traffic

passenger traffic

Since December 14, 2008, the Bayerische Regiobahn (BRB) has been serving Utting station in local rail passenger transport. LINT 41 diesel railcars run every hour on the Augsburg-Oberhausen - Mering - Geltendorf - Weilheim - Peißenberg - Schongau route. In addition, during rush hour, additional trains run between Geltendorf and Peißenberg.

The Bavarian Railway Company (BEG) awarded the Augsburg II diesel network and thus the operation on the Ammerseebahn for 2019 to 2021 to the Bayerische Regiobahn in a transitional agreement. As part of a new tender, the BEG again awarded the Bavarian Regiobahn the contract for operation from 2022 to 2031 as part of the Augsburger Netze Lot 2 .

Museum traffic

Since 2012, Bahnpark Augsburg has been running steam-hauled special trips between Augsburg and Utting every summer on a few weekends.

Excursion traffic

Even in the early days, the train stations on Lake Ammersee were of great importance for excursion traffic from Augsburg and Munich. That is why there were additional bathing trains from Augsburg to Utting and on to Dießen on weekends as early as the 1900s , which took the large number of passengers. These bathing trains sometimes carried more than 1000 passengers to the Ammersee and became known nationwide as a special feature of the Ammerseebahn.

In the 1950s, a bathing train was once again used from Augsburg via Utting to Dießen, which was discontinued as the Ammerseebahn fell in importance.

Freight transport

Up until the 1960s, a “collector” usually used the Ammerseebahn in local freight transport, who delivered and picked up cars at all stations. The locomotive mostly also took on shunting tasks .

In the 1960s and 1970s, with the rationalization of the local loading traffic was increasingly restricted. With the discontinuation of through freight traffic, there were some block trains to the siding of the concrete plant and individual transfer trips .

In 1985 the DB delivered 17 wagons to Utting per month. In the 1990s, individual handovers to Utting were still carried out from Geltendorf . At the end of the 1990s, when they stopped, freight traffic in Utting and thus on the entire Ammerseebahn finally ended.
