Schleswig-Holstein Railway
The Schleswig-Holstein-Bahn (SHB) was a railway company in Schleswig-Holstein . It was last from August 5, 2011 to December 10, 2011 a brand of the Hamburg-Schleswig-Holstein AKN Eisenbahn AG . Before that, until August 4, 2011, it was a 100 percent subsidiary of AKN as Schleswig-Holstein-Bahn GmbH and was merged with the parent company due to the impending handover of its only railway line to the nordbahn railway company.
It operated the traffic on the route Büsum - Heide (Holstein) - Neumünster (before the AKN with VT2-A) and thus connected Dithmarschen on the west coast of Holstein with Neumünster in Mittelholstein . The non-electrified route was driven by Coradia LINT 41H diesel multiple units (DB class 648.1) from the manufacturer Alstom .
The company was founded in December 2003 in order to be able to employ new employees on more economical terms. It thus replaced the AKN on its route, which had operated on behalf of the DB in the past few years .
In mid-2009, the Schleswig-Holstein State Transport Service Company (LVS), which is responsible for tenders for railway lines, announced that nordbahn Eisenbahngesellschaft, a subsidiary of AKN and BeNEX GmbH , would be operating the Neumünster line from December 11, 2011 - Heide - Büsum will take over. The SHB thus lost its only route.
The SHB was a member of the tariff association of federal and non-federal railways in Germany (TBNE).
