The Small Line Casekow – Penkun – Oder (CPO) was a narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of 750 mm, which connected the southern part of the Pomeranian district of Randow with the provincial capital of Stettin (now Szczecin ). The Randow district was dissolved on October 15, 1939; the part in question here was assigned to the district of Greifenhagen .
history
The small train began on April 8, 1899 at Casekow station on the main Berlin – Stettin line and ran north through the landscape between the Oder and Randowbruch to the small town of Penkun , the center of passenger traffic. From here she went on and after a total of 38 kilometers reached the state train station Scheune (today Gumieńce , part of Szczecin) with the main workshop of the small train. The trains from Berlin and Pasewalk could be reached in the neighboring state train station to continue to the main train station in Szczecin. From October 25, 1899, a three-rail track (gauge 750 and 1435 millimeters) led four kilometers further to the end point Pommerensdorf (today Pomorzany , district of Szczecin). This was mainly used for freight traffic to the port. Planned extensions of the route to downtown Szczecin did not materialize.
In 1935 the CPO carried 93,080 people and 125,158 tons of goods.
The railway was initially owned by a public limited company, in which the Prussian State, the Pomerania Province and the Randow District , but also private individuals, were most recently involved. On January 1, 1940, the AG was incorporated into the public corporation Pommersche Landesbahnen as "Casekow-Penkuner Bahn".
The management was initially taken care of by the company Lenz & Co. GmbH , from 1910 by the Pomeranian Provincial Association, from 1920 by the Association of Central Pomeranian Small Railways, until the Pomeranian Regional Railway Directorate in Stettin took its place from 1937.
After the end of the Second World War, the line was cut by the new state border . The narrow-gauge railway was dismantled as a reparation payment . In the city of Szczecin in Poland, the standard gauge section from Scheune to Pommerensdorf was retained for freight traffic.
Operating points
On April 8, 1899, passenger traffic began on the route. The Pommerensdorf small station only went into operation on October 25 of the same year. The Zimmermannsdorf, Wartin Siedlung and Güstow stops were served for the first time between 1914 and 1936. The Hohenholz Försterei stop was opened between 1936/39. On April 21, 1945, passenger traffic was stopped on the entire route.
