history

Strasbourg train station after 1900

Gare de l'Est (East Station) in Paris

In 1845, the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Strasbourg, later the Compagnie des Chemins de fer de l'Est , received the concession to build a railway line from Paris to Strasbourg with branches from Épernay to Reims and from Frouard to Metz . On July 5, 1849, the section from Gare de l'Est (East Station) to Meaux in Paris was opened. Other sections followed, such as the section from Sarrebourg to Strasbourg on May 29, 1851 . On August 12, 1852, with the opening of the section from Nancy to Sarrebourg, the entire line could be used.

After Alsace-Lorraine was ceded to the German Empire in 1871, the Sarrebourg – Strasbourg section came under the administration of the newly founded Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine . Today this can still be seen from the level change of track at Sarrebourg (German: Saarburg), where the operation changes from left-hand to right-hand traffic. After the end of the First World War in 1918, this section of the route again fell under French administration and was operated by the administration des chemins de fer d'Alsace et de Lorraine (AL). When the SNCF was founded on January 1, 1938, the Paris – Strasbourg railway line came under the administration of the French state.

Beginning on December 17, 1956 with the Sarrebourg – Strasbourg section, the entire line was electrified with 25 kV 50 Hz AC voltage until May 22, 1962 .

1961 occurred in Vitry-le-François of the attack on the express train Strasbourg-Paris with 28 dead and 170 injured.

business

The Paris – Strasbourg line is double-tracked. From the beginning it served high-quality long-distance transport. So the Orient Express also took its way on this route. Today, fast long-distance traffic runs via the LGV Est européenne . Until the completion of the second construction phase, the TGV trains from Sarrebourg still used the old route. Long-distance traffic runs from Strasbourg via the Europabahn to Karlsruhe as well as to Stuttgart and Munich . Since 2011, the TGV has been traveling from Paris to Basel and Zurich via the LGV Rhin-Rhône , which shortened the travel time by 30 minutes.
