The railway Inowrocław Mogilno is a mostly no longer operated branch line in the Polish province Kujawy .

Course and condition

The line begins at the Inowrocław Rąbinek freight yard on the Chorzów – Tczew railway line and runs southwards via Kruszwica (Kruschwitz; km 11.924), where the passable section ends, to Gopło (Goplosee; km 24.741), and then north-west via Strzelno (Strelno; km 38.615) ) to Mogilno (Mogilno; km 55,330) on the Poznań – Toruń railway line .

The line is single-track throughout, not electrified and can still be traveled at twenty kilometers per hour to Kruszwica, after which it is closed.

history

On January 1, 1889, the Prussian State Railways opened the northern section between Inowrazlaw (from 1904 Hohensalza, today Inowrocław in Polish ) and Kruschwitz ( Kruszwica ), and on October 15, 1892 the western section between Strelno ( Strzelno ) and Mogilno and the remaining central section between Kruschwitz and Strelno.

The 1914 summer timetable provided for six continuous pairs of trains, an additional Hohensalza – Kruschwitz and another Hohensalza – Montwy.

After the First World War , the area became part of Poland. In 1933, on the occasion of the opening of the coal main line to Inowrocław, today part of the Chorzów – Tczew railway line , the previous line from Inowrocław station through the city was closed, so that the line has since started at Inowrocław Rąbinek station on the then opened coal line.

In 1996 passenger and freight traffic was discontinued on the Kruszwica – Mogilno section, and passenger traffic between Inowrocław and Kruszwica in 1997. The 1995/1996 timetable had planned four pairs of trains on the entire route, which took at least two and a half hours in each direction, while the 1996/1997 timetable had just as many between Inowrocław and Kruszwica.
