Schweinfurt–Meiningen Railway
The Schweinfurt–Meiningen railway, route number 5240, is a single-tracked main line in the states of Bavaria and Saxony in southern Germany. It is also called the ''Main-Rhön-Bahn'' ("Main- Rhön railway") and is listed in the Deutsche Bahn timetable as route (''Kursbuchstrecke'') 815. The railway has been part of the Erfurt–Schweinfurt route since 1993. Passenger services on the line are provided by DB Regio and the Erfurter Bahn (EB). History After the completion of the first major railway lines in the middle of the 19th century the Bavarian government became very interested in opening up other parts of Bavaria and also in establishing shorter links within the existing railway network. As a result, aspirations arose for a connexion between the Bamberg-Würzburg railway at Schweinfurt and the '' Werrabahn'' at Meiningen, not least in order to improve the accessibility of the Saxon-Meiningen provincial capital. So the governments of Bavaria and Saxe-Meiningen sign ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It became the Duchy of Bavaria (a stem duchy) in the 6th century AD following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. It was later incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire, became an ind ...

Neudietendorf–Ritschenhausen Railway
The Neudietendorf–Ritschenhausen railway connects Neudietendorf and Ritschenhausen in the German state of Thuringia. It is a mainly single-track main line operated by DB Netze. History The first ten kilometres of the Neudietendorf–Ritschenhausen line was built by the Thuringian Railway Company (german: Thüringische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft) in 1867 as a branch line from Neudietendorf to Arnstadt. In 1879, the line was extended via Plaue to Ilmenau ( Erfurt–Ilmenau line).

Three years later, the Suhl– Grimmenthal section was inaugurated. Finally in 1884 the Grimmenthal–Ritschenhausen section and the 33 kilometre long section between Plaue and Suhl were completed. The building of this section included ramps with an average of grade of 2.0% and the 3,039 metre-long Brandleite Tunnel, which took just under four years ...

Mellrichstadt–Fladungen Railway
The Mellrichstadt–Fladungen railway, also called the Streu Valley Line (), is a Bavarian branch line that connects Mellrichstadt in Lower Franconia () with the town of Fladungen, which nestles in the Rhön mountains. History Public transport arrived in the Streu Valley in 1838, but only a few of the local inhabitants could afford the luxury of travelling by post coach. Ostheim, an enclave of the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach pressed for a railway link as early as 1853. But it was only in 1866 that Bavaria decided to extend the railway network into the remote and poorly served Rhön mountains in the north of the state. In 1871 the line from Schweinfurt to Bad Kissingen was opened, but it was another 18 years before the Lokalbahn AG was initially tasked with building a line from Mellrichstadt to Ostheim, only for it to be cancelled. Finally, in 1897, work began, and the line was completed on 20 December 1898. The early years were dominated by goods transportation for ...
