The Schieder – Blomberg railway , also known as "Blomberger Pengel", connected the city of Blomberg with Schieder station on the Hanover – Altenbeken railway in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
After a rail connection from Blomberg had already been requested at the end of the 1860s, a contract was signed between the Principality of Lippe and the KED Hannover on January 15, 1894 , after the Principality made the land available free of charge and granted a building cost subsidy of 280,000 marks. The company was opened on July 1, 1897 by the Prussian State Railways . From January 15, 1898, a stop was set up at the Noltehof. The route always had few passengers in passenger traffic. In 1897 there were four pairs of trains, in 1907 six. In 1944 five pairs of trains ran daily. The main cargo was wood for the furniture industry.
From 1926 onwards, the small town of Blomberg had another rail connection through the Paderborn overland tram operated by PESAG in the direction of Horn-Bad Meinberg .
Passenger traffic ceased on December 10, 1951, and freight traffic on September 26, 1987. This was followed by the dismantling of the route on which a cycle path was created, which is part of the Hellweg-Weser BahnRadRoute .
A Jüdel-type mechanical signal box was in operation at the Noltehof junction from 1922 to 1983 . The station building in Blomberg was demolished in 1994.
vehicles
At the beginning, two Prussian T 3s were stationed in Blomberg. It was later replaced by a Prussian T 9.3 , which stayed there until the end of passenger traffic. The locomotive station was given up in the early 1950s. The traffic was then mainly handled by class 50 locomotives , from 1974 class 260 diesel locomotives .
