The Wasserburg Bahnhof – Wasserburg Stadt railway line is a branch line in Bavaria . It branches off the Rosenheim – Mühldorf railway line at Wasserburg (Inn) station and leads to Wasserburg am Inn . Since March 2, 1987, the remaining route has been closed after a dam slide, and it has not been repaired. The owner of the infrastructure is the city of Wasserburg am Inn.

history

With the opening of the Rosenheim – Mühldorf railway line in 1876, Wasserburg initially had no direct rail connection for topographical reasons. The next train station was built about four kilometers west of the town in Reitmehring . In 1890 the government of the Kingdom of Bavaria under Prince Regent Luitpold granted the planning license for a local railway between this station and the town of Wasserburg, which is located in a loop of the Inn .

On March 6, 1900, the construction of the line was approved. The acquisition of the land turned out to be lengthy and significantly more expensive than planned, so that the connection could not be completed until the end of 1902. On December 20, 1902, the technical acceptance runs and the opening ceremony took place. Scheduled traffic began on December 24, 1902.

The timetable valid from October 1905 had three pairs of passenger trains passing through from Grafing Bahnhof to Wasserburg Stadt, each of which had to change direction at Wasserburg Bahnhof. This offer was supplemented by two further pairs of trips by the First World War . From the beginning, additional connections were also offered between Wasserburg train station and Wasserburg city in order to establish connections to and from the trains on the Rosenheim – Mühldorf route.

Further plans of the Schnaitsee Railway Committee to extend the railway line east of Wasserburg via Schnaitsee to Trostberg were not implemented. The Bavarian Ministry of Transport rejected the project in August 1913 after an economic audit.

From April 24, 1920, the line came to the network of the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Munich . From September 7, 1949, the line belonged to the German Federal Railroad (DB).

After heavy rains on March 2, 1987, the track was submerged at the level of a clogged passage over a length of several meters, after which the railway had to be stopped. The damaged section was no longer repaired, instead the Deutsche Bundesbahn transported the railway vehicles that had remained in Wasserburg Stadt on a street scooter.

On April 2, 2004, the city of Wasserburg am Inn took over the infrastructure from kilometer 0.371 to ensure the possibility of restarting. On August 30, 2012, the city of Wasserburg published a sales offer for this route in the Federal Gazette . By the end of the three-month period on November 30, 2012, interested parties reported to take over the route. A consortium made up of various companies then negotiated with the city to take over the route.

On February 12, 2016, the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, for Construction and Transport issued a formal closure notice for the Wasserburg (Inn) Bf (exclusively) –Wasserburg (Inn) Stadt section of the route belonging to the city of Wasserburg, according to a statement from Pro Bahn Oberbayern the reconstruction of this section of the route torpedoed. A consortium formed by BayernBahn , Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn , Innrail and the passenger association Pro Bahn filed an objection, and the Munich Administrative Court dismissed the lawsuit on January 9, 2017. In January 2018, however, the appeal was approved by the Bavarian Administrative Court. After another rejection, an appeal was lodged with the Federal Administrative Court in 2018; the procedure was still ongoing in February 2020. The Wasserburg city council decided in October 2019 that the city bus should now run every half hour from 2022 instead of every hour.

Route description

The Wasserburger Tunnel is just before the terminus. (2016)

The track to Wasserburg Stadt leads south out of the station and then eastwards through the Meggle AG factory premises down to the Inn , where, after crossing a short tunnel, Wasserburg Stadt station is reached. In the area of ​​the tunnel and the city train station, the tracks were covered with gravel after the cessation of traffic (late 2005 / early 2006).

Vehicle use

Steam locomotives of the types D VI and D VII were initially used to drive the trains , which, under the direction of the Reichsbahn, were gradually replaced by machines of the 70.0 , 86 and 98.8 series. The DB also used locomotives of the 64 and 98.3 series ("glass box") on the route at times . From 1954, rail buses were used on the route , which in 1962 completely replaced the steam locomotives in passenger train traffic.
