Halle-Queis industrial railway
The Halle-Queis industrial railway (IBHQ) is a public, non - federally owned, standard - gauge railway infrastructure facility of the city of Landsberg im Saalekreis for the railroad development of the Halle-Queis industrial area (IGHQ) and the Halle-Saalkreis industrial area on the A14 (IGHS) for goods transport.
The industrial connection line is connected to the Deutsche Bahn network as an alternative connection point (Awanst) on the main Halle – Guben / Zary line between the Peißen junction and the Reußen train station in kilometers 7.860 and is only a few kilometers from the freight station for the central German area of Halle (Saale) . The connecting sheet is applied in the form of two master tracks and track administratively as in the railway network Regional District Ha l le located Q ueiser I ndustry s tammgleis ( LQIS performed). The building and operating regulations for connecting railways in Saxony-Anhalt apply to the Halle-Queis industrial line .
Emergence
Since the end of 1996, the Halle-Queis industrial railway has been developing the Halle-Queis industrial area of the former municipality of Queis , which was part of the Kabelske-Tal administrative community, in the immediate vicinity of the existing Dölbau-Queis industrial area on the Geltestrasse with a standard-gauge industrial mainline. Today the former community Queis belongs to the city of Landsberg, which operates the industrial railway. Since 2012, the multi-communal industrial area Halle-Saalkreis on the A14 - referred to as the Star Park Halle for marketing purposes by the Halle (Saale) municipal economic development agency - has been linked by the IBHQ.

The 2.8 km long main track, which was laid out in 1996, branches off from the main line Halle– Guben / Sorau (VzG route number: 6345) via a bypass system with two 487 meters parallel tracks to a public wagon loading facility connected to Uralitastraße. The main track is divided into four operational sections A1 to A4. For this purpose five locally operated turnouts with the numbers 1 to 5 were installed.
In spring 2012, work began on connecting the neighboring Halle-Saalkreis industrial area to the A14 with a 1,471 meter long second main track branching off from the existing bypass. The track branches off from the bypass at km 1.361 past the Reideburg substation along Polarisstrasse to the end of the track on Orionstrasse. Two turnouts with the numbers 72 and 100 were installed for this purpose. The switch 100 is planned for the network connection in the district Dölbau the community Kabelsketal lying Company Great View Aseptic Packaging provided (GA Pack).
The railway system is entered in the route class directory as CM4 and is therefore passable with an axle load of 21 tons and a meter load of 8 tons with 2- and 4-axle wagons.

Factory connections
The original reason for the construction of the industrial track was the request of the insulating material factory URSA Deutschland GmbH , the Spanish Uralita Group, established in 1997 to settle in the industrial area. The municipality as an industrial area developer in cooperation with the state authorities met this requirement. The track was built up to the factory fence and ends there. However, the insulation manufacturer has not yet set up a track system on company premises and does not transport any goods by rail from the factory location, although according to its own information, 440,000 cubic meters of X PS insulation boards were produced annually , which corresponds to around five thousand truck loads (figures from 2011).
The company Eisenbahnlaufwerke Halle (ELH) uses the rail connection in a special way. The ELH acquired the property right next to the public loading platform and built its company premises in 1999. With an 8 ton semi-portal crane system on the company premises, the loading track is reached over the fence from the western side for loading and unloading freight cars. Due to the settlement of the company Greatview Aseptic Packaging , a second main track with a switch towards the company premises was built in 2012. A continuation of the track on the company premises is still not recognizable. There are now four other large-scale logistics companies without rail transport in the industrial area.
Structural systems
Level crossings
In the IBHQ area there are five non-technically secured level crossings marked with St. Andrew's crosses. Level crossing 1 is located at km 0.891 and crosses a cycle and field path between Peißen and Zwebendorf. Level crossing 2 is located at km 1.695 of the first main track and crosses the Hohenturmer Weg, a dirt road that originally connected the towns of Naundorf with Hohenturm and is now mainly used by agricultural vehicles.
The level crossings No. 3 at the substation on the second main track, No. 4 Siriusstraße (street name decided on October 30, 2013, called access road B during the construction period) and No. 5 at the side entrance of the Greatview Aseptic Packaging company were still under construction in early 2013 2014 not yet released.
Loading system
The public wagon loading point for the transshipment of goods is located on a site on Uralitastraße at the corner of H.-D.-Genscher Straße. The siding is located in section 4, starting about 100 meters behind the switch 5. The useful length of the track is about 105 meters and ends at the end of the track. On the eastern side of the public access there is an 80-meter-long, ground-level concrete-paved open loading area with an adjoining installation area for goods handling processes. To the west of the loading track is the transshipment facility with a movable crane system from the neighboring company Eisenbahnlaufwerke Halle, which is also used . Occasionally large transformers for the ABB transformer works in the east of Halle have been reloaded here.
Electrical system
The IBHQ is fully equipped at all decisive points with an external lighting system that can be switched on as required and can therefore also be operated in the dark, i.e. around the clock. Specifically, there are for the main railway junction 6, at the level crossings 4, at the Umfahranlage 23, at the 5th Soft 2 and at the loading point five lighting poles .
service
An infrastructure usage contract must be concluded with the IM to allow an EVU to use the connecting railway . The rules for the operation of the IBHQ siding of the city of Landsberg and the operational rules for the service drive to the Awanst Queis of the DB Netz AG Rb Südost, production facility in Halle apply.
The IBHQ is operated by the RU DB Cargo in single wagon traffic and is entered in the directory of destinations under the railway station number 80 - 349738.
