The Dreieichbahn is a single-track , non-electrified branch line and connects Dreieich-Buchschlag on the Main-Neckar-Bahn with Rödermark-Ober Roden on the Rodgaubahn in the Rhine-Main area . Colloquially, the RMV line 61 that runs on it is also known as the Dreieichbahn, which continues beyond Ober-Roden on the Rodgaubahn to Dieburg .

history

The client was the Grand Duchy of Hesse . On March 15, 1903, a Grand Ducal Hessian Railway Construction Department was set up in Darmstadt to build the line . It was opened on April 1, 1905 and operated by the Prussian-Hessian Railway Association. The route was primarily intended for commuters from today's Dreieich between Dreieich-Buchschlag (then: "Buchschlag- Sprendlingen ") and Rödermark-Ober-Roden (then: "Ober-Roden") to Frankfurt am Main . The regular service was soon extended between Buchschlag-Sprendlingen and - extended beyond Ober-Roden - to Dieburg , as most commuters from the Reinheim and Dieburg region wanted to go to Frankfurt am Main or to the Opel factory in Rüsselsheim am Main . The Dreieichbahn offered the shorter connection compared to the Rodgaubahn via Offenbach. The Rodgaubahn ( Offenbach - Reinheim ) between Ober-Roden and Dieburg had been in operation since October 1, 1896. In 1912 the line was equipped with a continuous telegraph line . For the winter timetable 1922/23, the (old) 2nd class was no longer available on all trains. They only led the 3rd and 4th grade.

At the beginning of the 1980s, the Dreieichbahn was listed by the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) as a line in danger of being discontinued. There has been no regular freight traffic here since 1990 . Thanks to the commitment of the community of interest Dreieich Bahn (IGDB) and local politics succeeded the closure to prevent the track. As early as 1988 there were initial plans to modernize the Dreieichbahn, which was implemented from the mid-1990s. In 1998 the extensively modernized Dreieichbahn was opened. The costs for this were borne by Deutsche Bahn (DB), the state of Hesse and neighboring municipalities.

Since an extension of the S-Bahn line S1 of the S-Bahn Rhein-Main from Rödermark-Ober-Roden to Dieburg was classified as uneconomical, the operating concept of connecting the trains to Dieburg was retained. This part of the Rodgau Railway was expanded for diesel operation and the line was further tied through.

On April 1 and 2, 2005, the Dreieichbahn celebrated its 100th birthday with special steam trips .

On December 13, 2011, the renewed direct award of rail transport services for the period December 2011 to December 2013 to the previous operator DB Regio was announced in the EU Official Journal . This direct award was later extended to June 2016.

Since June 30, 2016, the route should be operated with new Pesa Link vehicles. Due to delivery delays with the Pesa Link, a replacement concept with vehicles from the 642 and 646 series was temporarily in place. The first new vehicles have been on the route since February 2, 2019. Since September 2019, the fleet has been completely converted to Pesa Link trains. These will run at least until the timetable change in 2027.

Regional trains run every hour to Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof . It come of it railcars of the 632 series (Pesa Link) and series 646 (GTW 2/6) is used, the drive from Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof on Buchschlag and Ober-Roden addition to Dieburg. Weekdays (except Saturdays) on the section between Ober-Roden and Neu Isenburg will clock condensed into 30 minutes. The operator of the services is DB Regio . A single morning trip is served by VIAS with vehicles from the Odenwaldbahn . There are connections to the Rhein-Main S-Bahn in Dreieich-Buchschlag ( S3 and S4 ) and Rödermark-Ober Roden (S1).

Transport of a transformer in 2019

The only remaining siding is that of the substation of Amprion between Urberach and Offenthal . If necessary, a transformer is started up and shut down here. This performance was incumbent earlier usually a diesel locomotive of Class 225 . These trains run from Dieburg to the Dreieichbahn. As part of the fundamental renovation of the substation, the connection was upgraded for higher loads in autumn 2015 and a transformer was last loaded in early September 2019.

future

The cities of Rödermark and Dreieich are demanding the electrification and S-Bahn expansion of the Dreieichbahn.

Should the regional tangent west (RTW) be realized, this would also improve the connections for travelers from the communities on the Dreieichbahn. There would be faster rail connections to Frankfurt Airport and in the direction of Mainz and Wiesbaden . The corresponding plans provide for a route to Dreieich-Buchschlag station on a branch . The project can only be implemented in the medium term due to high investments and a lack of funds.
