The French railway line Franois – Arc-et-Senans in the Doubs department is an important, double-track cross section between the two railway lines Dole – Belfort in the north and Dijon – Vallorbe in the south-west, which branch off at Dole station . The route is part of the long-distance Lyon - Strasbourg route .
history
This route is part of the connection from Bourg-en-Bresse to Besançon and was planned and executed together with her. On April 20, 1854, the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Lyon (PL) railway company signed an agreement with the Minister of Agriculture, Finance and Transport to build the line. This agreement was approved by an imperial decree that same day. Only a year later the two crossing routes mentioned above were added. On March 28, 1881, the second track, which had been planned from the start, was put into operation.
In the second half of the 1850s there was a consolidation among the French railroad companies. After the financial collapse of the Compagnie du chemin de fer Grand-Central de France , whose liquidation was decided in 1857 in favor of the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans , the Compagnie des chemins de fer de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée (PLM ) from the merger of the companies PL and the Compagnie du chemin de Lyon à la Méditerranée . The agreement was signed on April 11, 1857 and approved by decree of June 19, 1857. On August 1, 1864, it became the property of PLM. In 1938 this route was nationalized.
Infrastructure
A partly relatively tight curve radius requires the top speed of 110 km / h. The Arc-et-Senans junction may only be driven at 60 km / h. The line was only electrified in mid-1995. The feed of 25 kV at 50 Hz takes place at the two substations Dijon and Liesle.
The train protection is carried out with the help of electromagnetic induction (BAPR) in train sequence sections as well as with Block automatique lumineux (BAL) .
The TER Franche-Comté is responsible for managing the route . In addition to long-distance trains, regional trains run at the six stations. With 16 train connections a day, it is one of the company's most popular routes. The trains take almost two hours to cover the 153 kilometers from Besançon-Viotte to Bourg-en-Bresse .
