|} The Duisburg-Meiderich Nord–Hohenbudberg railway is a line in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia that originally ran from Meiderich Nord station to the Hohenbudberg freight yard with a branch to the former Rheinpreußen station on the Lower Rhine Railway and was formerly used primarily for freight. The operating part of the line now forms the Oberhausen West–Meerbeck railway, which connects the Oberhausen West freight yard and the freight line from Duisburg-Wedau to Bottrop Süd with Meerbeck junction on the Lower Rhine Railway. ==History== After the closure of the Ruhrort–Homberg train ferry on 19 May 1907, a simple ferry across the Rhine was maintained for passengers, but another solution had to be found for freight since the Duisburg-Hochfeld Railway Bridge required a long detour. The Prussian state railways began to construct its new line at Meiderich Nord station from the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Dortmund railway. It ran through the densely populated areas of Ruhrort and Beeck and crossed the Rhine between Beeckerwerth and Baerl on the Haus-Knipp railway bridge.〔 In Baerl station a branch line forked at a grade-separated junction to run west to Rheinpreußen station on the Lower Rhine Railway, running to the north. The main line again ran through densely populated areas in Homberg and Moers. It met the Lower Rhine line running south in the area of Asberg junction and followed it to Oestrum junction. After crossing the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Mönchengladbach railway, it continued on to Bergheim station to the east of the Toeppersee (lake) to the Hohenbudberg freight and marshalling yard. In this form, the line was opened for freight traffic on 1 October 1912.〔〔 A year later on 1 September 1913, an additional connection was opened from Buschmannshof junction via Duisburg-Meiderich Süd station to Oberhausen West freight yard.〔 Between 1917 and 1920, Rheinpreußen station was opened on the Lower Rhine Railway north of Moers station, replacing Utfort station, which was a kilometre further north. In 1929, a new curve was built from the end of the branch line to Moers to connect with the Lower Rhine Railway running south at the new Meerbeck junction.〔 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「Duisburg-Meiderich Nord–Hohenbudberg railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
