history

The entire length of the Breslau – Poznan line was opened on October 29, 1856 by the Breslau-Poznan-Glogau Railway . This belonged to the Upper Silesian Railway when it was finally nationalized on July 1, 1886.

By 1905, the line was completely expanded to two tracks. The 1914 summer timetable provided for two pairs of express trains that took at least two hours and 22 minutes for the route and stopped in Trachenberg Stsbf, Rawitsch Stsbf, Bojanowo (a pair of trains ), Lissa (pos.) And Kosten . The three pairs of express trains took a minimum of two hours and seventeen minutes and sometimes stopped less than the express trains.

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the German-Polish border ran between Corsence and Rawitsch from 1920 , in 1936 a pair of express trains and some local traffic ran across the border, the journey time from Breslau to Poznan was at least two hours and 38 minutes.

After the Second World War , the line came to the Polish State Railways , which electrified the section from Wrocław Główny to Oborniki Śląskie until November 17, 1969 and the rest of the line until April 22, 1970 with three kilovolt DC voltage, today the journey time is at least two Hours and thirteen minutes.

Modernization work has been taking place between Rawicz and Czempiń since autumn 2018 and probably until autumn 2019. Fixed track will be built on both tracks one after the other during ongoing operations, and some stations will have platform heights suitable for the disabled. The goal is a continuous top speed of 160 km / h. As of March 2019, the entire 69 km long construction section can only be used on a single track, with the track under construction changing several times and most of the stations and switches are still in their old condition. Because of the rather thin train frequency, there is no impairment of the timetable.
