The Dívčice – Netolice railway is a railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated as a nationally guaranteed local railway Nakři-Netolitz – Netolice (city) . It runs in South Bohemia from Dívčice to Netolice ( Netolitz ).
According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.
history
On September 8, 1894, Dr. Ottokar Kudrna in Netolitz, Ferdinand Riedl in Peterhof and Josef Kudliš in Netolitz were granted the concession "to build and operate a standard-gauge locomotive from the Nakři-Netolitz station on the Gmünd – Eger state railway to Netolitz" . Part of the concession was the obligation to start construction of the line immediately and to complete it within a year and a half. The duration of the concession was set at 90 years.
The route was opened on October 28, 1895. The kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) ran the business on behalf of the owners.
The share capital of the stock company Netolitzer Lokalbahn (Czech: Netolická místní dráha ), which was founded in 1900, was 139,000 guilders in 1390 ordinary shares of 100 guilders each. The company was based in Prague.
In 1912 the timetable of the local railway indicated three mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains. On the days of the cattle markets in Netolitz there was another one. The trains needed about 50 minutes in both directions for the 14-kilometer route.
After the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) took the place of the kkStB . On January 1, 1925, the Netolitzer local railway was nationalized by law and the line was integrated into the ČSD network.
In December 1927, the ČSD tested a Škoda rail bus , which was scheduled to be used in passenger train services from December 30, 1927. Technically, the vehicle was a normal road bus placed on railway wheelsets , which had to be turned by hand on a turntable at the terminal stations. Technical defects soon led to the shutdown. As a replacement, ČSD used motor vehicles of more modern design, which were supplied by the Staudinger Waggonfabrik . After the general decline in transport performance as a result of the global economic crisis , these vehicles also replaced steam locomotives in freight transport from October 1930.
From 1928, the motor vehicles enabled both a significant compression of the timetable and a significant reduction in travel times. On February 14, 1928, the Malovice u Netolic stop was opened. In the 1937/38 winter timetable, seven pairs of passenger trains were listed, all of which operated as motorized trains. The shortest travel time was now only 30 minutes. Only the additional train, which continued to run in Netolice on market days, was still run by a steam locomotive.
During the Second World War, the line was entirely in the Protectorate and was operated by the now Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). As a result of the war-related quota for liquid fuels, all trains had to be run with steam locomotives again. From January 15, 1945 traffic stopped. The Deutsche Reichsbahn used the track to park locomotives and wagons that had been evacuated from the front in the east. On July 11, 1945, scheduled traffic by the ČSD was resumed.
On January 1, 1993, as a result of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the line was transferred to the newly founded Czech state railway company České dráhy (ČD). Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).
On February 26, 2011 the scheduled travel was stopped. The last timetable valid from December 12, 2010 showed a total of seven pairs of passenger trains, the majority of which were connected to and from Číčenice and Týn nad Vltavou.
There are still occasional special trips (some with steam trains).
Vehicle use
The kkStB purchased two 97 series locomotives for the owner's account . They were numbered 97.82 and 97.83. The 97.83 was financed half by the Netolitzer local railway and the local railway Wodňan – Moldauthein .
From December 1927, the ČSD used the M 120.101 rail bus for a short time . As a replacement, vehicles from the M 132.0 and M 122.0 series drove . After the Second World War, the ČSD used a motor vehicle of the M 232.2 series , which was replaced by the M 131.1 series in the 1950s . From the end of the 1970s, passenger trains were operated exclusively with the railcars of the ČSD series M 152.0 (ČD 810).
