The Nierstein – Undenheim – Köngernheim line was a single-track, non-electrified branch line in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
The line was opened on November 1, 1900. It connected Nierstein with Undenheim / Köngernheim and was popularly called Valtinche [ valˈtiːnʒə ]. On February 10, 1914, new “double- light pre-signals ” were put into operation on the route “when darkness fell” , which corresponded to the model of the form signal that is still in use today .
It was shut down on October 7, 1951 . Today the tracks have been dismantled and the route has been converted partly into a farm road and partly into a cycle path . This was given the name Valtinche - just like the railway line before it .
