Goods handling in Neu Isenburg city

The Neu Isenburg – Neu Isenburg Stadt railway connected the city of Neu-Isenburg with the Main-Neckar Railway . It was operated exclusively in freight traffic.

Geographical location

The 1846 opened Main-Neckar Railway was straight from Frankfurt to Langen traced out and leads more than two kilometers west of Neu-Isenburg over.

history

Neu-Isenburg therefore had no train station at all in 1846 . It was not until 1852 that the Neu Isenburg train station (then: Isenburg ) was retrofitted. In order to bring the railway closer to the city center of Neu-Isenburg, the 2.6-kilometer branch line Isenburg-Neu Isenburg (later: Neu Isenburg Stadt) was put into operation on April 1, 1903 . It was single track and standard gauge . The terminus at Neu Isenburg was purely a freight yard . A reception building the station had therefore never, but an administration building for freight handling . It consisted of a track harp with six tracks. In the southernmost of the tracks, two manually operated turntables were installed, via which the sidings could be reached. On October 1, 1907, the line together with the (Neu-) Isenburg train station was transferred from the responsibility of the Mainz Railway Directorate to the Frankfurt Directorate.

Probably at the beginning of the 1930s, the mechanical signal box "Rs" was built on the corner of Hugenottenalle and Carl-Ulrich-Straße. It has been preserved as an architectural monument to this day.

In 1983 there were tracks 101 to 105 and tracks 111 and 112 at the Neu-Isenburg freight yard as delivery and pick-up tracks for the federal monopoly administration for spirits . After some modifications in the 1980s and 90s, the last track plan before the closure was published in 1996 . On December 15, 2003, the traffic was stopped, at the end of 2006 the branch line was closed, and the tracks were partially removed in the following period.

future

The route of the former route Neu Isenburg – Neu Isenburg Stadt is planned as a section of the south-eastern end of the Regional Tangente West (RTW), which means that passenger traffic would take place here for the first time. In summer 2018, public participation took place as part of a corresponding plan approval . A building permit is expected in 2020.

Worth knowing

Passenger traffic to and from Neu-Isenburg continued after the line opened, provided travelers did not want to use the Isenburg train station, which was more than two kilometers away , with the Frankfurt Forest Railway , which ran from the northern outskirts to Frankfurt.
