The Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH (PEG) is a railway company (PSC), based in Berlin; the company is part of the Netinera group. The company has not operated any rail traffic since 2012.

Companies

Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH was founded in June 1996 by former DB employee Thomas Becken. With rail buses that can be operated cheaply , he took over the traffic on some branch lines in the Prignitz in order to save these routes in the north-west of the state of Brandenburg from the impending cessation of operations. Later, the PEG was also in other regions of Brandenburg and in North Rhine-Westphalia worked as a railway company, and it was as a railway infrastructure company for some routes in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern responsible. In 2006/07 the PEG provided 1.35% of the transport services in the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association .

In 2002, together with Hamburger Hochbahn (today: BeNEX ) from Hamburg, the subsidiary Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH (ODEG) was founded, which operates local rail passenger transport in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Berlin and Saxony. Most recently, this company won the tender for three RB and two RE lines in VBB , which have been in operation since December 2011 and 2012.

In 2004 the company was sold to what was then the Arriva Group. Since February 2011, PEG has been a subsidiary of Netinera , 51% of which is owned by the Italian state railway and 49% by the financial investor Cube.

In the meantime, corporate activities are declining. After the transport contracts expired, the PEG withdrew from North Rhine-Westphalia in December 2011. She gave up responsibility for railway infrastructures in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg in mid-2012. When the passenger transport in the Prignitz was put out to tender in 2012 - a significantly smaller scope of operations was planned than before - the PEG no longer participated. The tender was won by the Potsdam Railway Company , which took over the transport services in the PEG's home region in December 2012. The traffic on the Berlin-Lichtenberg - Löwenberg (Mark) - Templin route was also completely taken over by DB Regio from December 9, 2012, so that the PEG has not operated a local rail transport since then.

Trivia

The PEG was both through its use in the preservation of railway lines and the attempted reconstruction of the ET 403 (Donald Duck), the rescue of some vehicles of the series 221 as well as the use with Uerdinger rail buses (T1 to T12, the best known is T11) during the Known for the first few years of operation as a new railway company, but also because of the unique color combination of the vehicles.

Infrastructure

Since January 1, 2004, the PEG has been managing the Pritzwalk– Karow (Plau am See) line as a railway infrastructure company. The line was transferred together with the Pritzwalk – Putlitz line to the PEG, which in turn transferred ownership of the Pritzwalk – Putlitz line to the Prignitz district . On March 1, 2008, PEG leased the Pritzwalk – Neustadt (Dosse) and Karow (Meckl) goods lines from DB Netz .

At the beginning of the school year on August 27, 2007, the new Pritzwalk West stop was officially opened on the route to Putlitz, which is served by trains from Meyenburg and Putlitz. At the initiative of the PEG and the Putlitz-Pritzwalker Eisenbahnförderverein , six pairs of trains run between Pritzwalk and Putlitz from Monday to Friday.

On September 13, 2007, PEG took over the management of the Blankenberg (Meckl) –Dabel line on behalf of the owner ecoMotion GmbH, Rapsveredelung Mecklenburg . Since August 20, 2007, this route has been used as required for the rail transport of biodiesel from the ecoMotion GmbH plant in Sternberg . Since April 8, 2008, the train with a net weight of 1,100 tonnes, tractioned by the Eisenbahngesellschaft Potsdam (EGP) and Railion Deutschland AG , has been running regularly to Hamburg once a week .

On May 24, 2008, the PEG Infrastructure division (PEG IS) put the 31-kilometer Karow (Meckl) –Priemerburg line back into operation. This new connection should provide alternatives to the current main approach routes from Schwerin and Berlin for rail freight traffic in north-south traffic to the Rostock seaport .

On April 22, 2010, PEG IS, in consultation with the owner, put the section between Ganzlin and Bütow of the Ganzlin – Röbel railway back into operation. In the area of ​​the former loading point in Bütow, freight wagons are to be parked, until there train journeys can be carried out in train control . The remaining piece to Röbel was declared a construction track.

On April 12, 2012, the legally required separation between operations and infrastructure took place at PEG by spinning off the infrastructure division as Prignitzer Eisenbahn Infrastruktur GmbH (PEI). On July 10, 2012, PEI was sold to RegioInfra Gesellschaft mbH (RIG) with retroactive effect from January 1, 2012.

vehicles

On its routes in Berlin and in Prignitz , the Prignitzer Eisenbahn used eight vehicles of the “ Regio-Shuttle RS1 ” type . 17 “ Talent ” vehicles drove on the routes in North Rhine-Westphalia . The Prignitzer Eisenbahn also owns the prototype of the "Talents", which, however, is not operational. In the event of vehicle bottlenecks in North Rhine-Westphalia, the regional shuttle RS1, Uerdinger rail buses, RegioSprinter from Vogtlandbahn , Desiros from the Angel Trains leasing pool or double-decker rail buses were used on the lines in Oberhausen. 221 145, which was bought back from Greece a few years ago, is also equipped with air conditioning, a silencer and a completely new engine after its refurbishment.

By the end of 2003, twelve Uerdingen rail buses were used in Prignitz . 18 other Uerdinger railbus vehicles were owned as spare parts donors. Some of them were still used for special trips until May 2009. On May 1, 2009, the last Uerdinger was parked after the deadline with T 11 ; it had previously been adapted to the paint scheme of the Regio-Shuttle. Most of the rail buses have since been sold to Goes in the Netherlands .

They also owned three vehicles from the 670 series and two LVT / S.

The PEG vehicles were run on biodiesel (B100). Regio-Shuttle RS1 railcars ran on rapeseed oil .
