The Szczecin Dąbie – Świnoujście railway line ( German: Stettin Altdamm – Ostswine ) is an electrified and predominantly double-track railway line in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship .
The route connects the voivodeship capital Szczecin (Stettin) and the Polish inland with the island of Wolin (Wollin). The located on the west coast Wollins terminuses Swinoujscie (Swinoujscie, until 1945 Ostswine) and Świnoujście Port (Swinoujscie port) have nothing to do with the former stations Swinoujscie main station. And Swinoujscie port on the opposite island of Usedom to do (see railway Ducherow-Heringsdorf-Wolgast ferry ). Both islands were connected by a trajectory until 1945 . Today passenger ferries operate there.
history
The first section was put into operation by the Altdamm-Colberger Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (ACE) in 1882. The section between Gollnow and Wollin was created ten years later under the leadership of the Prussian Eastern Railway . The next section of the line to Międzyzdroje was completed in 1899 under the direction of the Prussian State Railways . A year later, the line was extended to Ostswine, this station is on the Wollin side opposite the city of Swinoujscie on the island of Usedom. In 1901 the connection between Swinoujscie Central Station and the port and thus to this route opened on the Usedom side.
In the last timetable of the Deutsche Reichsbahn before the end of the war, the route had the timetable number 124e and five pairs of trains ran between Stettin and Ostswine. Another six pairs of trains ran on a section. Between the end of the Second World War and 1948, the trains did not run between Recław and Wolin due to the destroyed bridge over the Dziwna . Due to the provisions of the Potsdam Agreement with the demarcation of the border between Germany and Poland in 1945, the line came under Polish administration in full and has been operated by the Polish State Railways ever since .
After the Second World War, a ferry connection across the Baltic Sea from Świnoujście to Ystad in Sweden was established. Around 1950 the line was extended a short distance to the Świnoujście Port station at the ferry terminal. There, however, only a few trains run after the Baltic Sea ferries, the other trains end at Świnoujście station.
In December 1979 the electrification between Szczecin Dąbie and Goleniów was completed, the rest of the route was electrified a year later.
