Austrian Eastern Railway
{{Other uses, Ostbahn (other){{!Ostbahn The Austrian Eastern Railway (German ''Ostbahn'') was the name of a former railway company during the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.

The company was nationalized in 1909. After 1945, the service between Laa and Brno was disconnected.

Bavarian Eastern Railway Company
The Royal Bavarian Eastern Railway Company (''Königlich privilegirte Actiengesellschaft der bayerischen Ostbahnen'') or Bavarian Ostbahn was founded in 1856. Within just two decades it built an extensive railway network in the eastern Bavarian provinces of Upper Palatinate (''Oberpfalz'') and Lower Bavaria (''Niederbayern'') that had previously been largely undisturbed by the railway. Much of this network is still important for local and long distance rail traffic operated by the Deutsche Bahn today. Foundation The construction of the Bavarian state railway network had concentrated, during the first decade, on the 3 major lines: Ludwig's South-North Railway, Ludwig's Western Railway and the Bavarian Maximilian's Railway. At that point the majority of the Bavarian State Parliament rejected any further expansion of the state railway network due to the state's financial situation and the fact that railway operations were still largely unprofitable in those days. As a result, lar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
