The Ústí nad Labem-Střekov – Ústí nad Labem západ railway line is a double-track electrified main line ("celostátní dráha") in the urban area of the Czech city of Ústí nad Labem ( Aussig on the Elbe ). It was originally built and operated by the kk privileged Österreichische Nordwestbahn (ÖNWB) as a short connecting line between their main line and the network of the kk privileged Aussig-Teplitzer Eisenbahn (ATE).
history
The ÖNWB received the approval to build the connecting line in Aussig as part of the concession for its supplementary network on June 25, 1870. The concession initially only provided for the construction of a track. Only when the annual “ gross profit for two consecutive years ” should exceed the sum of 180,000 guilders per mile did the concession require the subsequent laying of a second track. The construction of the line should be completed within four years of the granting of the license. The line was opened at the same time as the Lissa – Schreckenstein (Lysá nad Labem – Střekov) section of the main Vienna – Mittelgrund line on January 1, 1874.
After the nationalization of the ÖNWB, the line was transferred to the kk Österreichische Staatsbahnen kkStB on January 1, 1908 .
After the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) took their place . The first ČSD timetable from 1919 recorded six pairs of continuous passenger trains on the connecting line. Three more only ran to Aussig ÖNWB.
After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Dresden . In the Reich course book , the connection was now included as course book route 155e Aussig – Aussig-Schreckenstein . The 1944 timetable contained a total of ten pairs of passenger trains running on weekdays. There were no passenger trains on Sundays or public holidays. After the Second World War, the line came back to the ČSD.
In the 1950s, the line was expanded to two tracks and electrified as part of the main Czechoslovak traffic axis Košice - Chomutov . The old Elbe bridge from 1874 was replaced by a new structure a few meters downstream. The new double-track line finally went into operation on March 25, 1957. It has been operated electrically since December 29, 1958.
On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia .
Since the 1990s, passenger trains to and from Kolín (express trains) and Lysá nad Labem (passenger trains) have been using the route . In the 2011 annual schedule , there is a two-hour cycle schedule for both lines , so that a train runs approximately every hour. A special feature of passenger train traffic is the seasonal excursion train from Dresden via Ústí nad Labem západ to Litoměřice , which has been running since 2010 .
