The Poznań – Piła (Posen – Schneidemühl) railway is an electrified, partly double-track railway line in the Greater Poland Voivodeship .

course

The railway branches off at the Poznań PoD junction ( posterunek odgałęźny , podg for short ) from the Poznań – Szczecin railway line (no. 351) and runs on two tracks and electrified northwest over the Suchy Las junction (km 6,300), where a connecting curve (no. 803) for railway Zieliniec-Kiekrz , a northern goods bypass Posen , there is, to the bridge over the Wartheland in Oborniki (Obornik). From the Oborniki Wielkopolskie Most operating point (km 25.408), the line is only single-track; the Oborniki Wielkopolskie Miasto (km 26.290) stop, which was opened in 1947 and is the first long-distance traffic stop after Poznan, is located directly behind the bridge. In the northern Oborniki Wielkopolskie station (km 27.789), the Oborniki – Wronki (381 street) branched off earlier ; the line now runs north-east to Rogoźno (Rogasen; km 42.515), the next long-distance traffic stop, where the largely disused railway line Inowrocław – Drawski Młyn (street 206/236) crosses the line. From there, the route runs northwest to the long-distance Chodzież stop (Colmar / Kolmar; km 70.442), where the Gołańcz – Chodzież line (No. 378) used to branch off. The line crosses the nets further north-west and is double-tracked again from Dziembówko station (Gertraudenhütte; km 82.098). The line ends at the Piła Główna station (Schneidemühl; 92.538), a junction that is located on the Tczew – Küstrin-Kietz border line (Str. 203), the former Royal Prussian Eastern Railway .

The maximum speed for passenger trains is between sixty and one hundred kilometers per hour and between forty and seventy for freight trains.

history

The main line was opened on May 15, 1879 as a link between the Prussian Eastern Railway and Posen . The double-track expansion was completed in 1886.

The summer timetable for 1914 provided for eight continuous pairs of trains, including a pair of express trains that only run in summer and that only stopped in Posen, Obornik, Rogasen, Kolmar and Schneidemühl. He also planned two pairs of trains from Kolmar to Schneidemühl and a Posen to Obornik that only operated on weekdays. Many trains continued northwards , mostly with long stops .

Due to the Treaty of Versailles , the line came to Poland south of Königsblick after the First World War . The line was interrupted, the second track largely dismantled. The gap was closed again during the Second World War under German occupation .

After the line came to Poland after the Second World War due to the Potsdam Agreement , the line to Oborniki was expanded to double-track again, and the entire line has been electrified since November 1990.

Today there are express and local trains. Express train stops are Poznań Główny, Oborniki Wielkopolskie Miasto, Rogoźno Wielkopolskie, Chodzież and Piła Główna.
