The Worms – Bingen Stadt railway is a main line in Rhineland-Palatinate . It runs from Worms via Alzey to Bingen am Rhein . It is also known as the Rheinhessenbahn , because its entire length runs through the middle of the former Hesse-Darmstadt province of Rheinhessen .
history
The railway line was built by the private Hessian Ludwig Railway (HLB). Its construction was very much supported by the Prussian military because it doubled the connection Bingen - Mainz - Worms in supraregional traffic. It was opened in three sections
The first section is flat and was therefore easy to build. Up to Alzey there are uphill and downhill slopes. At the end of the second section in Alzey, a provisional terminus station was initially set up, until the line to Bingen went into operation three and a half years later.
Together with the HLB, the line was nationalized on April 1, 1897 and part of the Prussian-Hessian Railway Operating and Financial Community and its Mainz Railway Directorate . With this she then shared the further fate of the Prussian State Railways .
In 1907 the Pfiffligheim stop was renamed Worms-Pfiffligheim .
In 1908, the electrical route block between Worms and Monsheim (and on to Wachenheim-Mölsheim on the Zellertalbahn ) was put into operation, and the telegraphic train reports were no longer required. In the following years the electrical route block was further expanded and z. B. 1913 put into operation between Alzey and Armsheim. On February 10, 1914, new “double- light pre-signals ” were put into operation on the route “when darkness fell” , which corresponded to the model of the form signal that is still in use today .
On March 1, 1933, the previous Nieder Flörsheim station was renamed Nieder Flörsheim-Dalsheim and on October 1, 1938 the Gundersheim station was renamed Gundersheim (Rheinhess) .
business
The line is now operated by Deutsche Bahn .
In the course of the tender for the diesel network southwest (lot 1), new Alstom Coradia LINT 41/54 vehicles from DB Regio have been in use since December 2015 . Until then, railcars of the 628/629 series and, until December 2014, a few trains with locomotives of the 218 series operated .
Between Monsheim and Worms there is an approximate half-hourly service from 2 p.m. and an hourly service before 2 p.m. and all day long on the rest of the route. The trains end every hour in Bingen (Rhine) city , the compressor trains in Monsheim. The trains that were driven with the 218 series continued from Armsheim to Mainz.
On Saturdays and Sundays, the trains continued from Worms to Mannheim until December 2014, in order to compress the RB 44 between Worms and Mannheim to a half-hourly service. Since then you have to change trains in Worms.
The tariffs of the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Neckar (VRN) apply between Worms and Alzey . In addition, the tariffs of the Rhein-Nahe-Nahverkehrsverbund (RNN) have been in effect on the entire route from Worms to Bingen since January 1, 2008 .
The freight is limited to sporadic special services, mostly to the sugar factory in Neuoffstein .
