}} }} The Bochum–Gelsenkirchen railway, also known as the Glückauf-Bahn ("Good Luck Railway"), is a passenger railway from Bochum Central Station (''Hauptbahnhof'') to Gelsenkirchen Central Station in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is served by Regionalbahn passenger service RB 46). It is also used by freight traffic from Bochum freight yard at the former Bochum Süd station and Bochum-Präsident to Gelsenkirchen-Schalke Nord. The line was built in sections between 1867 and 1876 of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company. The curve connecting to Bochum Central Station was opened in 1979. ==Passengers== Until 1978, the Deutsche Bundesbahn passenger service ran from Bochum-Langendreer via Bochum-Nord, Bochum-Riemke to Wanne-Eickel (see Bochum-Riemke–Wanne-Eickel line below). After the construction of a connecting curve from Bochum Central Station (''Hauptbahnhof'') to the line towards Riemke in 1979, passenger services ran until 1990 from Bochum over the curve from Herne-Rottbruch to Herne, but subsequently services ran via Wanne-Eickel to Gelsenkirchen Central Station. Herne Rottbruch station represented a special case for operations, because it is located on a bridge over autobahn 43, but it has not been served since 1990. In the early 90s, the electronics manufacturer Nokia, which then had a factory near the railway, sponsored the modernisation of the fleet (starting with three vehicles of class 515 battery electric multiple units and followed by class 628 diesel multiple units). As a result, the line was renamed the ''Nokia-Bahn'' ("Nokia Railway") and Bochum-Graetz station was renamed Bochum-Nokia. Following Nokia’s closure of its Bochum factory in late 2008, the line was renamed the ''Glückauf-Bahn''. At the timetable change of 2009/10, the station was renamed Bochum-Riemke. Currently, Regionalbahn service RB 46 is operated by Abellio Rail NRW, using three Alstom Coradia LINT 41/H vehicles and on weekends and holidays with Stadler FLIRT EMUs with two sections. The Wanne-Eickel–Gelsenkirchen-Zoo–Dorsten section is used in passenger operations by Regionalbahn service RB 43. Until 1988, trains were operated by class 515 battery cars from the northernmost track of Wanne-Eickel station via a connecting curve directly to Wanne-Unser Fritz ("Our Fred", serving the Unser Fritz colliery, which was named after Frederick III) station. Today, the connecting curve is dismantled and the station is closed. Since the closure of the curve, passenger trains depart from the southern platform in Wanne-Eickel over the longer, southern connecting curve without stopping at Gelsenkirchen Zoo. The 1968/69 timetable included a Wanne-Eickel–Gelsenkirchen-Zoo–Gelsenkirchen-Schalke–Bottrop-Süd–Oberhausen service. In 1940, there was a Wanne-Eickel–Gelsenkirchen-Bismarck–Schalke Nord–Gelsenkirchen-Hessler–Essen service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bochum–Gelsenkirchen railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
