The railway line Grodzisk Mazowiecki – Zawiercie , also called Central Railway Magistrale (Polish Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa ), is a continuous double-track and electrified railway line in the Polish Voivodeships of Masovia , Łódź , Heiligkreuz and Silesia . It serves as a high-speed route between Warsaw and southern Poland.

course

The line begins in Grodzisk Mazowiecki on the Warszawa – Katowice railway line and runs southwards via the Szeligi railway stations (km 23.542), from which there is a connecting curve to the Skierniewice – Łuków railway , and Idzikowice (km 80.608), from which there is a connecting curve to the Tomaszów Mazowiecki– Radom , to Opoczno Południe station (km 92.142). The line continues via Włoszczczowa Północ (km 154.390), where there are connecting tracks to the Kielce – Fosowskie railway , and the Psary depot , from which there is a connecting curve to the Koniecpol – Kozłów railway , to Zawiercie , where the line returns to the Warszawa – Katowice railway meets.

State of development

The line is double-tracked and electrified.

For passenger trains, the maximum speed up to the kilometer point 78.516 is 200 km / h, up to the kilometer point 156.496 at Włoszczowa 160 km / h, except in the Idzikowice depot (120 km / h), up to the kilometer point 214.800 200 km / h, then 110-160 km / h. The maximum speed for freight trains is almost always 120 km / h.

History and traffic

The first section, Idzikowice - Zawiercie , was opened by the Polish State Railways on September 26, 1974 . By September 12, 1975, the Włoszczowa –Zawiercie section was electrified. The electrical operation Idzikowice – Włoszczowa was possible from February 25, 1976, the continuation north to Szeligi from June 18, 1977, the continuation to Grodzisk Mazowiecki from December 28th of that year. In the past few years, the line has been renovated and ETCS has also been installed.

Several speed records were set on the route. Since December 2014, multiple units of the PKP series ED250 have been traveling the route at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. This is the first time that such a high speed is regularly achieved in the EU enlargement areas of 2004.

Only long-distance trains operate in passenger traffic. These come from the direction of Warsaw and either continue via Zawiercie in the direction of Katowice or turn after Włoszczowa onto the Kozłów – Koniecpol railway line in the direction of Kraków . Far from all trains stop in Opoczno Południowe and Włoszczowa Północ.

In December 2009 the contract to equip the line with ETCS Level 1 was awarded. The line was the first line to be equipped with ETCS in Poland and should be driven at speeds of up to 200 km / h after the ETCS commissioning scheduled for June 2011. Commissioning has taken place.

The construction of a connecting curve from Włoszczowa Północ to Kielce is planned by 2020 in order to connect Kielce to Warsaw more quickly than via the Warsaw – Krakow railway line .
