Angermünde-Schwedt Railway
The Angermünde–Schwedt railway is a single track branch line in the district of Uckermark of the German state of Brandenburg. It connects the towns of Angermünde and Schwedt and the municipality of Pinnow to each other. Several halts on the line were abandoned in the 1990s. Today, the line is served at two-hour intervals by Regional-Express service '' RE 3'' via Eberswalde and Berlin to Lutherstadt Wittenberg. Since the timetable change in December 2014, Regionalbahn service '' RB 61'' running from Monday to Friday between Schwedt and Angermünde only are operated by NEB Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, while services continuing towards Berlin as Regional-Express service ''RE 3'' are operated by DB Regio. Both services run alternately on working days, so that there is an hourly service between Angermünde and Schwedt. The additional peak hour services of line ''RE 3'' between Angermünde and Schwedt has since been redesignated as Regional-Bahn service ''RB 61''. Route descr ...

15 KV AC Railway Electrification
Railway electrification using at are used on transport railways in Rail transport in Germany, Germany, Rail transport in Austria, Austria, Rail transport in Switzerland, Switzerland, Rail transport in Sweden, Sweden, and Rail transport in Norway, Norway. The high voltage enables high power transmission with the lower frequency reducing the losses of the traction motors that were available at the beginning of the 20th century. Globally, railway electrification in late 20th century tends to use 25 kV AC railway electrification, AC systems which has become the preferred standard for new railway electrifications. Nevertheless, local extensions of the existing network is commonplace. In particular, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (opened on 1 June 2016) uses 15 kV, 16.7 Hz electrification. Due to high conversion costs, it is unlikely that existing systems will be converted to despite the fact that this would reduce the weight of the on-board step-down transformers to one t ...
