State of development

From Toruń Główny to Korsze the line is double-tracked except for a short section in the city of Thorner, to Skandawa there is only one track, from Skandawa there is a broad gauge track to the standard gauge track. From Toruń to Korsze, the line is electrified with 3000 volts DC.

In the urban area of Toruń, the maximum speed for all types of train is initially 40 to 60 kilometers per hour for the most part; Up to kilometer point 193.361 / 193.401 (standard track / opposite track) the maximum speed for passenger trains is 120 km / h, for freight trains 100 km / h, from kilometer point 194.898 / 194.797 to kilometer point 212.307 / 212.252 again, in between on one track for all types of train 100 km / h, on the opposite track 70 km / h or 50 km / h, from kilometer point 213.528 / 213.569 to kilometer point 298.269 again, in between 100 km / h for all types of train. From kilometer point 298.269 to kilometer point 365.633, it is 100 km / h for all types of trains, then 60 to 80 km / h on the regular track to the border, and 100 km / h on the opposite track until it ends at kilometer point 367.900.

history

The route was initially completed as a single track as the southern rail of the Prussian Eastern Railway Network from 1871 to 1873 from the West Prussian Thorn to the East Prussian Insterburg. The construction costs averaged 130,000 marks per kilometer. The first section from Insterburg to Gerdauen was opened on January 16, 1871 , followed by the section from Thorn to Jablonowo (from 1903 Goßlershausen ) on November 20, 1871 (bridge over the Vistula River not until 1873 ), and on November 27, 1871 that of Gerdauen to Rothfließ , on December 1, 1872, the line from Jablonowo reached Osterode and Rothfliess from Allenstein , the gap between Osterode and Allenstein was put into operation on August 15, 1873. The two-track expansion took place from around 1888 to 1890.

After the formation of the Polish Corridor in 1920, the section from Toruń to Deutsch Eylau was taken over by the Polish State Railways . This section of the route became part of the so-called corridor traffic . After the occupation of a large part of Poland at the beginning of the Second World War by the German Wehrmacht in September 1939, the entire line was operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn .

After the new border was drawn as a result of the Second World War, the route was in Poland and the Soviet Union . The second standard gauge track between Iława and Tschernjachowsk was initially dismantled, but was soon rebuilt between Iława and Korsze and replaced by a Russian broad gauge track between Skandawa and Chernjachowsk . In Birkenfeld, from 1950 Krasnowka , and Gerdauen, from 1946 Schelesnodoroschny (roughly translated as "Railway City"), large transshipment stations were built. For military purposes, from 1952 to 1956, new broad gauge track systems of around 20 kilometers were laid in the area of Skandawa and another freight station was set up in Wielewo . After the closure of the transshipment point in Gerdauen, goods are now handled in Insterburg.

On October 16, 1987, the electrical operation from Toruń to Iława, on October 3, 1988 from Iława to Olsztyn and on December 18, 1990 from Olsztyn to Korsze could be started.

During the Soviet era, the Kaliningrad Oblast was supplied with coal from Upper Silesia via the route . Since the Second World War there has been no regular passenger traffic between the Polish Skandawa and the Russian Schelesnodoroschny. Passenger traffic between Korsze and Skandawa ceased on April 3, 2000. Passenger traffic between Zheleznodorozhny and Chernyakhovsk was suspended in 2009.
