The Chagny – Dole-Ville railway is an 85 km long, formerly double-track , now largely disused railway line in France . It went into operation in two stages between 1871 and 1887 and was also closed to tourist traffic in two stages in 1938 and 1954. Freight traffic is only served for approx. 7 km directly near Dole after it was electrified there in 1991 with 25 kV ~ . In the early 1980s, the last rails were removed from the rest of the route.

history

This railway line is also part of the extensive network that was created according to the Freycinet plan , although the planning goes back further. The first initiative for the construction came from the Chemin de fer de Lyon à la Méditerranée (PLM). On April 20, 1854, she received the concession to build and operate the line, albeit with the exit station Chalon-sur-Saône . The 18 km long section Chalon-sur-Saône-Allerey is now part of the Seurre-Chalon-sur-Saône railway . After the company merged, it belonged to the inventory of the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée from June 19, 1857 .

Accordingly, the route is divided into two parts. Chalon-Dôle via Allerey , which went into operation on October 2, 1871, was built first. On July 12, 1887, more than 15 years later, Chagny –Allerey followed as No. 115 as part of the Freycinet Plan . It was considered a diversion route between the Dijon – Lyon and Dijon – Bourg-en-Bresse axes and thus classified as strategic and built with two tracks.

In Pierre-de-Bresse there was a connection in the first half of the 20th century to the meter- gauge Chemins de fer vicinaux du Jura to Lons-le-Saunier .

This section, which was last put into operation, was the first to be closed again for tourist traffic, namely just two months after nationalization by the SNCF on July 1, 1938. Freight traffic was shut down in five stages. Today only the north-eastern end of the route between Tavaux and Dôle and the Allerey – Verdun section, which is still connected from Chalon:

• Chagny – Allerey on July 1, 1951
• Verdun-sur-le-Doubs - Saint-Bonnet on May 23, 1954
• Neublans-Petit-Noir - Chaussin on May 9, 1955
• Chaussin – Tavaux on May 22, 1966
• Saint-Bonnet – Neublans on July 5, 1971

The deedication of the railway line began with the Neublans – Tavaux section on July 26, 1969 and the dismantling in the same year. It was followed by St. Bonnet – Neublans on July 26, 1973 and Chagny – Allerey on March 20, 1978 and dismantling in 1981.
