|} The Teck Railway ((ドイツ語: Teckbahn)) is a branch line in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, connecting Wendlingen am Neckar with Kirchheim unter Teck and Oberlenningen. In Deutsche Bahn’s timetable it has route number 761. A branch line once ran from Kirchheim to Weilheim an der Teck, but it is now closed. ==History== The section from Wendlingen (then called Unterboihingen) to Kirchheim opened on 21 September 1864. Its original operator was the Kirchheim Railway Company (''Kirchheimer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft''), which was the first private railway company in Württemberg. It was later taken over by the Royal Württemberg State Railways. On 1 October 1899, the first train ran to Oberlenningen after the line had been extended there. In 1975, a large section of the line was moved in Kirchheim, the old station near to the centre of the town was abandoned and a new station was built on the southern outskirts. A shopping centre (the Teck-Center), was built on the site of the old station and the old track, which partly ran through the local streets, was abandoned. Until December 2009, the line was a single track, non-electrified line operated by DB Regio, with services from Wendlingen to Kirchheim twice an hour and from there to Oberlenningen once an hour. Some morning and evening trains ran to and from Plochingen. The service was operated with class 650 diesel multiple units and locomotive-hauled trains (consisting of a class 218 diesel locomotive and three Silberling carriages). The vehicles were operated by DB ZugBus Regionalverkehr Alb-Bodensee (RAB), a subsidiary of DB Regio. There had long been a proposal to connect the Teck Railway to the Stuttgart S-Bahn network and thus prolong the S-Bahn line S1 from Plochingen Wendlingen to Kirchheim. In early 2008, after several years of planning, the ''Verband Region Stuttgart'' (Stuttgart Region Organisation), which coordinates public transport in the Stuttgart Region, concluded a contract for rail services with Deutsche Bahn for the construction and financing of the line. Then from July 2008 until the start of the December 2009 timetable, the line between Wendlingen and Kirchheim was electrified and modernised, with line closures during the two intervening summer holiday seasons. In Wendlingen, the lead at the junction with the Neckar-Alb Railway was doubled to allow the S-Bahn trains to use the platforms appropriate to their direction of operation. A new train storage area was created in Kirchheim for terminating trains. ==Branch line == The 7.74 km long branch line from Kirchheim (Teck) Süd via Jesingen and Holzmaden to Weilheim an der Teck was opened in 1908. The last scheduled passenger train ran on this section on 25 September 1982. On 31 March 1988 the Holzmaden–Weilheim section was also closed for freight. The Kirchheim–Holzmaden section was served by freight services until 25 September 1994. The section after the 5.5 km mark (just past Holzmaden station) has been dismantled and is partly converted to a foot or bike path. The Kirchheim–Holzmaden section is still usable but it is not used. The five kilometre section from Kirchheim unter Teck Süd station to Holzmaden station will eventually be reactivated for work trains for the Wendlingen–Ulm high-speed railway. Excavated material from the new line (including the tunnels) will be carried on the A 8 to Holzmaden via a highway exit dedicated to this traffic. There the excavated material will be loaded on to rail wagons to continue on its journey. Kirchheim station has a set of points that would allow the extension of the S-Bahn along the line to Holzmaden. 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「Teck Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
