Lviv-Chernivtsi-Jassy Railway
The Lemberg-Chernivtsi-Jassy Railway (LCJE) was a railway company in the Habsburg Monarchy . Its routes were in Galicia , Bukovina and the Principality of Moldova . Today the former railway area is in Ukraine and Romania .
history
It was created under a consortium around the railway industrialist Victor Ofenheim after the acquisition of the concession document for the Lemberg – Czernowitz railway on January 11, 1864 and was initially called the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway . The construction of the line progressed rapidly and was completed in 1866.
On May 15, 1867 the company was granted the concession to build and operate the locomotive railway from Chernivtsi to Suczawa ; this line was then opened on October 28, 1869.
In 1868 the Romanian company received the concession to build and operate the railway from Suczawa to Jassy with the wing railways to Botuschani and Roman (opened in 1869/71). Since the railway area was now considerably expanded, the railway company operated as the "kk privileged Lemberg-Chernivtsi-Jassy railway company" from October 14, 1868.
The LCJE routes were divided into Austrian (355.515 km) and Romanian lines (224.068 km). The total length of the routes was 579.583 kilometers. In addition, the LCJE was involved in the following local railways:
- Local Railway Chernivtsi – Novosielitza (born June 5, 1884)
- Railway Lemberg – Bełżec (Tomaszów) (born June 23, 1886)
- Bukowinaer Lokalbahnen (born April 16, 1887)
- Kolomeaer Lokalbahnen (born April 28, 1886)
Since the complaints about the operating conditions of the railway increased sharply after the start of full operation (including the collapse of a railway bridge over the Pruth ), the operation of the Austrian lines was placed under public administration on October 7, 1872 and this was not until July 31, 1875 canceled again.
The grievances also increased on the Romanian lines, so that a compulsory administration took place here as well from 1888. After the railway company filed a lawsuit against the actions of the Romanian state, the Romanian lines were taken over by the state; these went into the possession of the Romanian state railways Căile Ferate Române (CFR). On the Austrian side, due to the legal situation, operations were taken over by the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) from July 1, 1889.
After the end of the First World War , most of the railway lines came to Romania and were also managed and taken over by its state railways. The Lemberg - Śniatyń section came to Poland and was nationalized on March 24, 1928 (under incorporation into the Polish State Railways ).
