Verbindungsbahn
A Verbindungsbahn ('' link line, connecting line, junction line'') is in German language a railway line that links stations, in some cases of different railroad companies, sometimes bypassing specific stations. Its most simple form is a Umgehungsbahn (''bypass railway''). A Verbindungsbahn can often be found near Terminus stations (''Kopfbahnhof'' in German), interlinking them in large cities with several terminus stations. Sometimes the Verbindungsbahn is also called Stammstrecke (lit. ''original line''). The term can also be found in other European languages in a similar form. As an abbreviation for Verbindungsbahn sometimes V-Bahn is used. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Verbindungsbahn (Stuttgart)
The name Verbindungsbahn (German for ''connection line'') is used in Stuttgart to describe the underground connecting line between the subterranean S-Bahn Stuttgart station at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (Stuttgart Hbf, the Stuttgart main station) and the tunnel exit at the station in Stuttgart-Österfeld, which connects, via tunnel, the Stuttgart valley and the Filder plateau. The term originates from the planning stages in the 1960s, when similar projects for the S-Bahn München and S-Bahn Rhein-Main were given the same term. The tunnel, with a length of 8.788 km, is the longest S-Bahn tunnel in Germany, and was the longest railway tunnel of any kind in Germany from 1985 until 1988, when the Landrückentunnel was opened for service. The tunnel is made up of two sections: the 2.6 km-long S-Bahn line section from Stuttgart Hbf to the halt at Schwabstrasse, and the 5.5-kilometre-long Hasenberg tunnel, which ascends to the Filder plateau. As part of the project Stuttgart ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Verbindungsbahn (Frankfurt)
The Frankfurt City Link Line (german: Städtische Verbindungsbahn, commonly just called the ''Verbindungsbahn'') in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, emerged in the 19th century as a link line between Frankfurt's western stations at the ''Gallustor'' and the Frankfurt-Hanau railway in the east of the city. It was an initiative by the government of the Free City of Frankfurt. On 31 July 1859, services opened on the 6 km long route that, for the most part, followed the northern bank of the river Main. It was initially operated by the Frankfurt-Hanau Railway Company and, from 1872, the Hessian Ludwig Railway Company (''Hessische-Ludwigs-Eisenbahngesellschaft''). Since the annexation of the free city into the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 the line has remained in the ownership of the city authorities. To begin with only freight services ran between the stations within the city to the customs house and the harbour. From 1 June 1869 passenger services were also operated, including ...

Verbindungsbahn (Basel)
The Basel Connecting Line (german: Basler Verbindungsbahn) is a railway line in the Swiss city of Basel and connects Basel Baden station on the right bank of the Rhine and Basel SBB station on the left bank. It is located on Swiss territory. Most of the German long-distance trains on the Rhine Valley Railway end at Basel SBB station and run along the Connecting Line. Many Regional-Express trains of Deutsche Bahn (from Freiburg) and S-Bahn trains of the SBB GmbH (from Zell) also run over the Connecting Line to Basel SBB. History The railway line was authorised by Article 4 of an international agreement of 15 October 1869, concerning the construction and operation of the Gotthard Railway. The building of the Connecting Line was licensed by the Swiss federal government on 14 March 1870. On 3 November 1873 the line was opened, including a one-line bridge over the Rhine. Following an agreement between the then Swiss Central Railway and the Grand Duchy of Baden State Railways, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Verbindungsbahn (Hamburg)
The Hamburg-Altona link line (german: Hamburg-Altonaer Verbindungsbahn) is a railway line in Hamburg, Germany. It now connects the lines from the north and west of Hamburg and Altona station with Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and the lines to the south and east. It was initially designed as a freight line only but is it now one of the busiest lines in Germany. It includes the suburban tracks of the Hamburg ''Stadtbahn'', originally the core of the Hamburg S-Bahn. History The first railway connection In 1842 the Hamburg-Bergedorf Railway Company opened a 16.5 km line from Hamburg to Bergedorf. In 1846 this line was extended to Berlin. Two years later, the Altona-Kiel Railway Company opened a line to Kiel. There was originally no link between Altona and Hamburg, so freight moving from one line to the other had to be reloaded several times, which was time-consuming and expensive. A two-track link line was therefore built between the stations. The route of the line is affecte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Connecting Line
The Connecting Line (russian: link=no, Соединительная ветвь) is a historical railway line in the southern part of Saint Petersburg, Russia, that may be considered as initial element in the process of forming the whole Rail transport in Russia, Russia's railway networking system. It was constructed in 1853 and started operation in 1854. Before that, forming Russian railways consisted only of several separate lines connecting few major cities. Decades later, in the 1st half of the 20th century, the line was merged with later-built neighboring Putilovskaya Line (Путиловская ветвь), also known as the Port Line (Портовая ветвь), and was prolonged to the city's northern territories finally forming so-called Northern Semi-Ring (Северное полукольцо) and the consequent massive Saint Petersburg railway hub. Premises In the 19th century Saint Petersburg was the capital of Russian Empire and residence of Russian tzars who w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Train Station
A train station, railway station, railroad station or depot is a railway facility where trains stop to load or unload passengers, freight or both. It generally consists of at least one platform, one track and a station building providing such ancillary services as ticket sales, waiting rooms and baggage/freight service. If a station is on a single-track line, it often has a passing loop to facilitate traffic movements. Places at which passengers only occasionally board or leave a train, sometimes consisting of a short platform and a waiting shed but sometimes indicated by no more than a sign, are variously referred to as "stops", "flag stops", " halts", or "provisional stopping places". The stations themselves may be at ground level, underground or elevated. Connections may be available to intersecting rail lines or other transport modes such as buses, trams or other rapid transit systems. Terminology In British English, traditional terminology favours ''railway station' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stammstrecke (Munich S-Bahn)
The Munich S-Bahn Stammstrecke is an 11 km long part of the Munich S-Bahn, running from Munich Pasing station to Munich East station, partly running in a double-track rail tunnel connecting München Hauptbahnhof with Munich East station. Background An underground railway line for Munich was first proposed in 1928 in a report on the "relocation of traffic centres". An underground route would allow "direct long distance traffic to and through the city centre". On 22 May 1938, the first tunnel, which was part of the north–south route, was started in the Lindwurmstraße, between the present-day underground stations Sendlinger Tor and Goetheplatz. In the speech of Julius Dorpmüller, the general director of Deutsche Reichsbahn, the project was called "S-Bahn" for the first time. Due to World War II the construction and plans for the Munich S-Bahn were set aside. In 1965, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Free State of Bavaria, the state capital of Munich and the Deutsche Bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
