Grafing–Wasserburg Railway
The Grafing–Wasserburg railway is a 29.1 km long, wholly single-track branch line in Upper Bavaria. It was partly built between 1899 and 1905. It is also called the Filzenexpress, which refers to the former raised bog (known in Bavarian language, Bavarian as ''Filz'')) it crosses in the Ebrach (Attel), Ebrach valley. A six-kilometer section at the western end from Grafing station to the town of Ebersberg is electrified as part of S4 (Munich), line S 4 of the Munich S-Bahn. It is also, along with the rest of the line to Wasserburg (Inn) Bahnhof (the name of the village where the station—''Bahnhof'' in German language, German—is located, which is outside the town of Wasserburg am Inn, Wasserburg), served by regional services of the SüdostBayernBahn. The 4.4 km long link from Wasserburg (Inn) Bahnhof to Wasserburg (Inn) Stadt (town) has been out of service since 2 March 1987. The rail infrastructure of the Grafing–Ebersberg section is owned and maintained by DB Net ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Upper Bavaria
Upper Bavaria (, ; ) is one of the seven administrative regions of Bavaria, Germany. Geography Upper Bavaria is located in the southern portion of Bavaria, and is centered on the city of Munich, both state capital and seat of the district government. Because of this, it is by far the most populous administrative division in Bavaria. It is subdivided into four planning regions (''Planungsverband''): Ingolstadt, Munich, Bayerisches Oberland (Bavarian Highland), and Südostoberbayern (South East Upper Bavaria). The name 'Upper Bavaria' refers to the relative position on the Danube and its tributaries: downstream, Upper Bavaria is followed by Lower Bavaria, then Upper Austria, and subsequently Lower Austria. It consists of 20 districts and 500 municipalities (including three cities). ''Landkreise'' (districts): * Altötting * Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen * Berchtesgadener Land * Dachau * Ebersberg * Eichstätt * Erding * Freising * Fürstenfeldbruck * Garmisch-Partenkirchen ...

Bundesstraße 304
The Bundesstraße 304 is a German federal highway that runs from Dachau north of Munich through the Bavarian capital via Ebersberg, Wasserburg am Inn and Traunstein to Freilassing on the border with Austria, near Salzburg. History Today's Bundesstraße 304 roughly follows the route of the old salt road, which led from Salzburg and Bad Reichenhall via Wasserburg am Inn, in the direction of Munich and on to Augsburg, and which was used to transport goods. Later, a stagecoach service connected Munich with Vienna. In 1932, today's route of B 304 was part of the former Fernverkehrsstraße 10 (FVS 10). While the much longer part from Homburg to Augsburg was called Bundesstraße 10, the section from Munich to Freilassing was given its own number 304. In the second phase of imperial road numbering, Bad Ischl and Bad Aussee Bad Aussee (; Central Bavarian: ''Bod Ossee'') is a town in the Austrian state of Styria, located at the confluence of the three sources of the Traun River in the ...

Overhead Line
An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, Electric multiple unit, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams. The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is ''overhead line''. It is known variously as overhead catenary, overhead contact line (OCL), overhead contact system (OCS), overhead equipment (OHE), overhead line equipment (OLE or OHLE), overhead lines (OHL), overhead wiring (OHW), traction wire, and trolley wire. An overhead line consists of one or more wires (or Overhead conductor rail, rails, particularly in tunnels) situated over rail tracks, raised to a high electrical potential by connection to feeder stations at regularly spaced intervals along the track. The feeder stations are usually fed from a High voltage, high-voltage Electricity distribution, electrical grid. Overview Electric trains that collect their current from overhead lines use a de ...

SüdostBayernBahn
Südostbayernbahn (Southeast Bavaria Railway) is one of several regional railway networks in Germany owned by Germany's national railway, Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG). Since 2001, the network has included the railway hub of Mühldorf am Inn, Mühldorf which connects 7 major railway lines from Munich, Rosenheim, Freilassing, Burghausen, Altötting, Burghausen, Simbach am Inn, Passau and Landshut, forming a star-shaped network of lines called ''Linienstern Mühldorf'' ("Mühldorf route star network"). ''SüdostBayernBahn'' is subordinated to DB RegioNetz Verkehr and DB RegioNetz Infrastruktur.
