Munich–Mühldorf railway
The railway line from Munich to Mühldorf is opened on May 1, 1871 74.8 km long main line and leads from Munich Ostbahnhof via Markt Schwaben and Villages after Mühldorf. The journey between Munich East and Mühldorf is currently about an hour.
The track is one of the 18 bottlenecks with capacity problems in the railways of the covenant. Especially the section between Markt Schwaben and Ampfing is one of the busiest single-track lines in Germany. Even now, (probably even 2 percent in 2015) handled the Germany far transported by rail quantity of goods over this single-track, non-electrified route with about 3 million tons more than 1 percent.
Current operating
Between Munich East and Markt Schwaben the route is double track and electrified to 21.1 km, the Munich S-Bahn does not own tracks between Riem -West and Markt Schwaben and the route shared. The line speed is there currently at 140 km / h later in at only 120 km / h In Markt Schwaben electrification ends. Between Markt Schwaben and Ampfing the track is despite a major passenger and freight traffic at 45 km also only single track. From Ampfing followed by a doubling of the track section to Altmühldorf, which was completed in December 2010 and cost around 50 million euros. As part of this expansion, our range of Ampfing station was redesigned, who received two new exterior platforms and was developed barrier-free. In addition were ( partly already years ago ) built in the entire expansion area Überwerfungsbauwerke, so that rail transport between Ampfing and Mühldorf can be handled height freely now. The final section between Altmühldorf and Mühldorf is currently expanded twofold.
Infrastructure manager DB Netz AG, with the exception of the station Mühldorf, which is assigned by DB Regio network infrastructure GmbH DB subsidiary SüdostBayernBahn (SOB ). The SüdostBayernBahn operates passenger services with regional rail and regional express trains with class 218 (mostly with double-deck cars, some with modernized pieces of silver and former InterRegio cars) and with the railcars of Class 628 At peak times the trains run at 20- minute intervals, to convey the daily about 15,000 commuters, otherwise there is largely an hour. The stations Weidenbach ( four times per day in each direction ), Walpertskirchen (about every two hours), Thann - Matzbach ( approximately twelve times per day in each direction ) are served rare. Per day run two trains without intermediate stops in about 45 minutes between Mühldorf and München Ost. Between Munich Hbf and Markt Schwaben, the Munich S-Bahn runs the S2 (Peter Hausen- Dachau Munich - Erding Markt Schwaben ) with series 423
The freight runs alongside increasingly private providers the DB subsidiary DB Schenker Rail locomotives of the series 225, 232 and 233 In particular, the freight from the Bavarian Chemical Triangle provides a significant volume of freight traffic. Overall, the section Markt Schwaben - Ampfing making it one of the busiest single-track roads in Germany: already are about 3 million tons more than 1 percent, by 2015 probably even 2 percent of Germany's transported by rail quantity of goods over this single track not handled electrified line.
Between Markt Schwaben and Mühldorf the stations are locally staffed with dispatchers. The stations Villages and Mühldorf own electronic interlocking ( CBI ) and are equipped with Ks- signals. The Ampfing station is signaled with Ks- signals and is controlled by the electronic interlocking Villages. Between Markt Schwaben (inclusive) and Munich are H / V signals in operation. The rest of the route has more than 100 year old form of signaling.
Expansion plans
As part of the expansion of Munich- Mühldorf - Freilassing the railway line from Munich to Mühldorf is included in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan since 1985. The route will be long term and electrified double track throughout, with largely the existing track alignment can be used. Only the section between Villages and Ampfing would require at a design speed of continuous 160 km / h is a partial realignment, as the current curve radii only allow a speed of 120 km / hr. This realignment is just like the long planned four-tracked expansion to Markt Schwaben and connection of the New Munich Trade Fair an S -Bahn clasp since 2010 apparently not pursued. However, it is still planned to connect the route of Mühldorf in Munich via the so-called " Walpertskirchen " directly to the Munich airport, which would greatly improve accessibility, especially Eastern and Southern Bavaria and Upper Austria and the province of Salzburg to the airport.
Following the completed in December 2010 two-track section between expansion and Ampfing Altmühldorf the section Altmühldorf - Mühldorf to (2.2 miles) undertaken in the framework of the planned expansion of its route Mühldorf - Tüßling with funds from the economic stimulus package until 2016. On July 29, 2013 were started with the upgrading of the Altmühldorf - Mühldorf. In addition, two further urgent meeting points between Markt Schwaben and Hörlkofen (8 km ) and between Villages and Obergeislbach ( 11.6 km ) to be expanded. For this, however, no planning is done, now appears a realization before 2020 or even 2025 is unrealistic.
About Mühldorf addition, the doubling including electrification is planned during the route to Freilassing also since 1985. Also, the connection distance of Tüßling to Burghausen to be electrified in the course of this work. The entire route Munich - Mühldorf - Freilassing perspective could be used as an alternative to the routes Munich -Rosenheim Rosenheim and Salzburg, particularly in view of the expected traffic during the completion of the Brenner Base Tunnel. The route is part of the Magistrale for Europe, which is to form the railway axis Paris -Strasbourg -Stuttgart- Munich-Vienna -Bratislava / Budapest (TEN Project No. 17) in the context of the development of trans-European networks. While the TEN project Paris -Bratislava will be largely completed a total of 2020, is alone on the Munich - Mühldorf - Freilassing section significant planning delays. In this section, it is the longest missing gap closure on the 1,300 kilometer route between Paris and Bratislava.
The proposed measures would allow both a considerable journey time reduction in local and long-distance transport substantial improvements in regional transport southeast of Bavaria ( compression stroke ). In addition, the industrial enterprises of the Bavarian Chemical Triangle have been calling for some time an expansion of the outdated and congested rail traffic routes. As traffic- objective also the improvement of transport relations with Austria is listed in the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan. The expansion Munich - Mühldorf - Freilassing to 1.386 billion euros cost (as of November 2010). The route will be extended for a design speed of between 120 and 160 km / h what the travel time München Hbf - Mühldorf -Salzburg Hbf would (147 km) from the current minimum of 150 min to 74 min in half. - For comparison: The connection München Hbf -Rosenheim -Salzburg Hbf 153 km long; ÖBB Railjet travels this route without stops in 89 min.
