The Oberhausen – Duisburg-Ruhrort railway line is a railway line in Germany . It leads from Oberhausen via Duisburg-Meiderich to Duisburg-Ruhrort .
Today, the line is classified as the main line , not electrified and, apart from the area around the Duisburg-Meiderich Süd train station, is a single track throughout .
history
The Cologne-Minden Railway Company (CME) had with the completion of their regular route in 1847, the first and thus only railway in the Ruhr. The coal mined in the Ruhr area should also be brought to consumers on the left Lower Rhine on this. She signed a contract with the Ruhrort-Crefeld-Kreis Gladbacher Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RCG), which was to build the railway line on the left bank of the Rhine to Mönchengladbach , including a trajectory between Ruhrort and Homberg .
Starting from its Oberhausen train station , the CME built its branch line via ( Duisburg -) Meiderich to the planned section of the trajectory on the right bank of the Rhine in (Duisburg-) Ruhrort , which was only to be completed on November 12, 1852, four years after the branch line opened on May 14 October 1848.
development
After the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) took over the RCG in 1866 together with the Royal Directorate of the Aachen-Düsseldorf-Ruhrorter Eisenbahn , it extended its Ruhr area route from its western hub station in (Mülheim-) Styrum to Ruhrort . This means that the BME had routes on both banks of its trajectory, as evidenced by the continuous kilometrage from Aachen to this day, and so the CME route to Oberhausen suddenly lost its importance.
When the Duisburg-Hochfelder railway bridge, a fixed Rhine crossing on the Osterath – Dortmund Süd railway line, finally overtook the old Ruhrorter Trajektanstalt, the railway line lost its supra-regional importance, instead it became essential for freight traffic to the steel industry and to the Duisburg-Ruhrorter port.
Todays situation
The city of Duisburg grew mainly through incorporation, so the railway lines built in the middle of the 19th century do not reflect the traffic flows of today's population. Therefore, there is relatively little passenger traffic on this route.
It was also important for freight traffic, as it connected the Duisburg-Ruhrort port station with the large Oberhausen West freight yard ( formerly Oberhausen RhE station ) on the Duisburg-Wedau-Bottrop Süd railway line of the former Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (RhE). Today the port station is only connected from the east side.
service
The regional train RB 36 Ruhrort-Bahn is operated today by the NordWestBahn . It took over the route on December 12, 2010 after a tender for the Niers-Rhein-Emscher network from the Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH . The travel time for the entire route is twelve minutes. There are connections to other local and long-distance trains at Oberhausen main station.
The NWB uses LINT 41 diesel multiple units on the route. The average speed is 45 km / h. The Ruhrort-Bahn runs every half hour on weekdays and every hour on weekends. The Ruhrortbahn is part of the VRR network .
Between mid-February 2019 and September 9, 2019, a replacement bus service ran between Duisburg-Ruhrort and Oberhausen Hbf due to a lack of drivers.
