Landshut–Plattling Railway
The Landshut–Plattling railway is a single-tracked, electrified main line in Lower Bavaria, in southern Germany. It runs along the Isar river and is part of the line between Munich and Passau. History The route was completed between Plattling and Pilsting on 15 October 1875 and between Landshut and Pilsting on 15 May 1880. It was intended to link Munich to Prague as the southern section of the Bavarian Forest railway, but due to the unfavourable terrain through the mountains of the Bohemian Forest, there was never a large amount of cross-border traffic on the line. Instead much of it went (as it still does today) via Regensburg and the Schwandorf–Furth in the Wald railway. Even as the route from Landshut to Pilsting was being built, the section from Pilsting to Landau (Isar) was expanded to two tracks. This second track was lifted in 1942, due to the war, and transferred to the occupied territories. Electric operations began on 25 May 1976 in order to avoid the time-consu ...
