The Nymburk – Mladá Boleslav railway is a main line ("celostátní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the kk privileged Österreichische Nordwestbahn (ÖNWB) as part of its state-guaranteed mainline network. It runs in Central Bohemia from Nymburk ( Nimburg ) to Mladá Boleslav ( Jungbunzlau ).
history
Today's connection Nymburk – Mladá Boleslav belonged to the state-guaranteed main network of the ÖNWB, for which the concession was granted on June 25, 1870. Together with the main connection of the Bohemian Northern Railway ( Bakow – Rumburg ), which was completed in 1867/69 , the new line was to form an important north-south connection that was to continue through Upper Lusatia to Berlin . The concessionaires were therefore given the priority to extend the Nimburg – Jungbunzlau line to Bakow in order to establish a direct connection with the Bohemian Northern Railway. A state guarantee was excluded for this section (which was not built later).
The line was initially allowed to be laid out as a single track. Only when the gross yield of 120,000 guilders per mile was exceeded for two consecutive years could the state administration demand the construction of a second track. The return on the investment capital was guaranteed at 5 percent annually for the entire concession period of 90 years. After 30 years, the state reserved the right to redemption at any time. The line was opened on October 29, 1870 together with the Kolin – Nymburg section of what would later become the main connection between Vienna and Mittelgrund .
Ultimately, the Nimburg – Jungbunzlau route did not achieve the supra-regional importance it was intended for. The Kingdom of Saxony had refused the concession to the Bohemian Northern Railway to continue to the north, so that the project of a new and shorter main connection between Berlin and Vienna remained a torso.
The 1900 timetable recorded a total of six pairs of trains that took about an hour to complete the entire route.
After the nationalization of the ÖNWB, the line was transferred to the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) on January 1, 1908 . In the 1912 timetable, an express train also ran between Vienna and Reichenberg (today: Liberec ) via the Nimburg – Jungbunzlau connection . He needed half an hour for the 30 kilometers between Nimburg and Jungbunzlau, which corresponds to a cruising speed of about 60 km / h.
After the First World War , the line was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). Their first timetable recorded five pairs of trains on the entire route. In the 1920s and 1930s there was a significant increase in the timetable down to ten pairs of passenger trains a day. Some of these trains were tied through from Kolín to Rumburg and on to Sebnitz . The express train Vienna – Reichenberg no longer ran.
During the Second World War, the line remained in the network of the now Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB).
After the Second World War, the line retained its importance as an important connecting line between central and northern Bohemia. In the ČSD timetable the route was now part of the Nymburk – Rumburk route ( timetable route 8, later 080).
On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia .
In the 2011 timetable, express and passenger trains run alternating every two hours . The express trains on the Kolín – Rumburk route require 25 minutes for the entire route without stopping. The passenger trains stop at all subway stations and are always tied to and from Mladá Boleslav město.
