The Leobersdorfer Bahn opens up the Gölsen , Triesting and Traisental , i.e. the area south and south-west of Vienna with many tourist destinations in the Vienna Woods . It connected Leobersdorf to St. Pölten via Hainfeld . The line was built and operated by the Niederösterreichische Südwestbahnen , but the company was nationalized as early as 1878. In 2004 the section over the Richtberg (Weißenbach-Neuhaus - Hainfeld) was closed. The sections Leobersdorf - Weißenbach-Neuhaus (Triestingtalbahn) , and St. Pölten - Hainfeld / Schrambach ( Traisentalbahn ) as well as Freiland - St. Aegyd are still in operation as goods and special transport routes owned by the municipality ( connecting railway Traisental ) .

Emergence

After the completion of the Western Railway , there were several projects to establish a connection to the Southern Railway west of Vienna . The large-scale (up to about 32 to 39 km of route closed) connection St. Pölten - Mürzzuschlag was preferred, the construction / completion of which was considered certain for 1871/1872. (See also: Mürzzuschlag – Neuberg local railway ).

Leobersdorf Station (1909)

Finally, the idea of the watershed between prevailed Gölsen and Triesting in barely 600 meters above sea level with a route of St. Poelten - Leobersdorf to overcome. This variant offered the possibility of promoting the economy in this mountainous region through passenger and freight transport and giving the companies located there access to the efficient railway network as well as the industry of the greater Wiener Neustadt area on the flat ground a direct and therefore shorter connection to the west of Vienna to offer - including military-tactical use.

The law of May 16, 1874 not only laid the foundation for the construction of the Leobersdorf – St. Pölten created, but u. a. Also made provision for a wing runway from Scheibmühl to Schrambach .

With the concession deed of November 3, 1874 , the concessionaires Victor Graf Wimpffen, in association with Adolph Horst , Leopold Hutterstrasser , Alexander Curti and August Köstlin, were granted the right to build and operate the routes mentioned. a. For the branch line from Scheibmühl to Schrambach , possibly in the open country, the status of a secondary line has been determined, as long as the state administration has not ordered a technical and structural upgrade.

On October 19, 1876, Leobersdorf-St. Pölten Railway Company under the company K. k. priv. Lower Austrian Südwestbahn in the presence of 17 shareholders, who represented more than nine tenths of the share capital .

Despite multiple state support, the corporation k. k. priv. Niederösterreichische Südwestbahnen , which had started the railway construction, faced insoluble financing problems, so that the state took over the remaining financing and finally in 1878 the entire railway system under the name kk Niederösterreichische Staatsbahnen .

Niederösterreichische Südwestbahnen, first published timetable (excerpt), April 1, 1878

The Leobersdorf - Kaumberg section was opened on September 1, 1877. The remaining section to St. Pölten was opened to traffic on October 3, 1877.

route

Hirtenberg stop at the railway bridge crossing Triesting (around 1905)

St. Veit stop in 2010

Court Mountain Tunnel, west opening (Hainfeld), around 1880

The Leobersdorfer Bahn route begins in Leobersdorf and is electrified to Wittmannsdorf . The reason why this short section is electrified is that the route to Gutenstein originally branched off in Wittmannsdorf . For the sake of simplicity, continuous trains from Vienna to Gutenstein were run electrically to Wittmannsdorf , and only there was the locomotive replaced. Until 2008, high-speed trains that "originally" ended in Leobersdorf were run to Wittmannsdorf so that they would not occupy a track in the important Leobersdorf station during the turning point. As of the 2008/2009 winter timetable, this type of operation was finally abandoned with the exception of one connection and in December 2015.

After the Enzesfeld-Lindabrunn station , the route enters the actual Triestingtal . After the Hirtenberg stop (which is actually still in the Enzesfeld municipality), there is the St. Veit ad Triesting stop . The former station-keeper's house, which was expanded into a bus stop by adding a veranda, is practically preserved in its original state. Standing a bit apart, the wooden toilet house is also still there, almost in its original state. This is followed by the Berndorf Factory station , which is important for freight traffic, but also for the factory workers of the former Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik, and the Berndorf Stadt station in the city . The history of Berndorf is shaped by the rise of industrial companies that was only made possible by the construction of the railway.

Further up the valley follow the Pottenstein and Fahrafeld stations , which was named ( "FAHRAFELD" ) in honor of the first Austrian steam locomotive with axle formula C and which was decommissioned on December 8, 2007. Then Weißenbach ad Triesting is reached, which has been the end of the line since December 12, 2004.

The Taßhof stop has been closed since 1996. Altenmarkt ad Triesting , Altenmarkt-Thenneberg , Kaumberg , Kaumberg Markt and Rechtsberg have had no public rail connection since 2004. The scheduled freight traffic over the Richtberg ended on June 3, 2001.

Just before the station Gerichtsberg the railway line reaches its highest point in the 168-meter Gerichtsberg tunnel and crosses the watershed between Triesting and Gölsen .

With Hainfeld the most important and largest place in the Gölsental is reached. The Leobersdorfer Bahn between St. Pölten and Hainfeld is to be electrified by 2024/2025 .

Scheibmühl junction (around 1905)

This is followed by the Rohrbach ad Gölsen and Rainfeld stops and the St. Veit ad Gölsen train station . After the Wiesenfeld - Schwarzenbach stop , you reach Traisen , the railway junction where the line to Kernhof branches off.

From now on, the route of the Traisen follows north. The next stations are Rotheau-Eschenau , Göblasbruck , Kreisbach and Wilhelmsburg .

Now the route turns away from the Traisen and runs almost in a straight line towards today's capital of Lower Austria St. Pölten . This is followed by the St. Georgen stop and the train station as well as the Spratzern stop . Between St. Pölten Alpenbahnhof and the terminus of the St. Pölten Hauptbahnhof line , the route runs parallel to the Mariazellerbahn .

The Niederösterreichische Südwestbahnen originally procured six series A locomotives , seven series B locomotives, one 1C tank locomotive and six C series tank locomotives with the numbers 2 to 7. All of these machines were taken over by the kkStB . The kkStB itself had three locomotives (97.59-61) built for the NÖSWB in 1893 in connection with the opening of the branch line to Kernhof.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the kkStB tried to rationalize traffic on branch lines such as the Leobersdorferbahn with the so-called secondary trains. It was a four-axle double-deck car pulled by the 1C tank locomotive . Both vehicles were delivered by Krauss in Munich in 1879 and proved themselves to some extent, but were not very popular with the public. However, the kkStB did not pursue this path any further.

Later on, the kkStB used the following series at the NÖSWB : kkStB 1 , kkStB 4 , kkStB 229 , kkStB 35 , kkStB 56 , kkStB 60 , kkStB 88 , kkStB 188 , kkStB 92 and kkStB 99 .

For March 1, 1900, a month-long test of motor vehicles was planned on the Leobersdorf – Weißenbach section , which should start regular service from April 1, 1900. With the use of motor vehicles , they wanted to make it easier for the residents of the lower Triestingthal to visit the Berndofer Theater

In the interwar period, the BBÖ u. a. the following series: BBÖ 30 , BBÖ 56 , BBÖ 60 , BBÖ 178 , BBÖ 184 , BBÖ 97 , BBÖ 378 , BBÖ 460 , BBÖ 360 , BBÖ 399 .

During the Second World War , the Deutsche Reichsbahn mainly used the 56.31-34 , 57.10-40 , 57.7 , 95.1 and 58.7 series .

After the Second World War , the new series ÖBB 75 and ÖBB 77 were used. There were short missions from the following series: ÖBB 454 , ÖBB 691 and ÖBB 770 .

In the 1960s, ÖBB 77 carried the main load in passenger traffic, while ÖBB 52 / ÖBB 152 were used in freight traffic. The ÖBB 93 series was used universally in both passenger and freight traffic.

Scheduled steam operation ended on Saturday, May 30, 1970 with passenger train 5616, which was hauled by ÖBB 52.7408.

In the years 1964 to 1966, the diesel locomotive started on the Leobersdorfer Bahn with the series ÖBB 2045 . In later years mainly ÖBB 2143 took over the traffic. A Kremser ÖBB 2043 was also regularly in circulation. ÖBB 2048 were in front of the collector in the Traisental.

The decline in passenger traffic was taken into account through the use of diesel multiple units . For example, the series ÖBB 5044 / ÖBB 5144 and ÖBB 5046 / ÖBB 5146 came onto the line. The railcars were partly on the move with control cars or with attached two-axle frame wagons or four-axle Schlieren wagons .

In recent years, ÖBB 2016 and ÖBB 5047 / ÖBB 5147 have been used. Machines of the series ÖBB 2070 have replaced the decommissioned locomotives of the series ÖBB 2048 . However, the 5147 were all sold to the Raaberbahn in 2012 and have not been used on the Leobersdorfer Bahn since then.

meaning

At the time of its creation, the Leobersdorfer Bahn was intended on the one hand as a connection between the southern railway and the western railway, on the other hand, it was intended to promote the businesses that settled here through the existing hydropower in the catchment area of the railway and give them access to the railway network. She has undoubtedly accomplished this task.

Passenger traffic played a subordinate role right from the start, which the operators also met in the first few years through efficient operation ( secondary trains with double-decker cars).

The line was one of the first to be nationalized and heralded the great state railway era in Austria, even before the Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Bahn (Western Railway) became state property.

The Leobersdorfer Bahn recorded most traffic during the Second World War . At that time it gained strategic importance as the southern bypass of Vienna . The retreating German troops also destroyed a large part of the technical structures on the line and almost all the locomotives that were left behind, which is why operations on the entire line could not be resumed until mid-December 1945.

With the increasing competition from road traffic, the route lost more and more importance in the post-war period. Freight traffic became practically meaningless and disproportionately expensive , mainly due to the decline of many industrial companies in Triesting and Gölsental . This led to the fact that he was completely discontinued in 2001 over the mountain of justice .

The investments and modernizations that were not carried out (automatic barrier systems, remote-controlled switches, renewal of the superstructure) led to a slow and labor-intensive handling of traffic that could no longer be carried out at a cost-covering level. The workers' and schoolchildren's trains, which were well occupied in the 1960s and 1970s, lost more and more of their importance. In the summer of 2005, the "Triestingtalexpress", a special train on Sundays and public holidays, ran in nostalgic traffic.

The line between Wittmannsdorf and Weißenbach-Neuhaus was converted for remote control operations from Wittmannsdorf train station. The work was completed when the timetable changed in December 2010. For passengers, however, this modernization and rationalization has not yet resulted in shorter journey times.

The history-related attractiveness and tourist potential of the entire route were admitted by the ÖBB and tried to use in 2008 when they were looking for a new operator for the discontinued section Weissenbach-Neuhaus-Hainfeld from km 19.610 to km 43.450 .
