It runs from the former Duisburg-Wedau freight yard as well as from the Duisburg-Hochfeld Süd freight yard via Oberhausen West freight yard to Bottrop Süd freight yard. The railway connects these and many other important lines in Duisburg, Oberhausen and Bottrop. In particular, it provides a connection to the Duisburg and Ruhrort river ports. Strictly speaking, the four-track railway on the eastern outskirts of Duisburg is used by a total of three different routes from the Lotharstraße overpass in Duisburg-Neudorf to the overpass over Obermeidericher Straße in Duisburg-Obermeiderich, running largely parallel with Autobahn 3. At Walzwerk junction (northeast of Oberhausen and Oberhausen West freight yard) the line infrastructure (VzG) numbers change. All six VzG routes are now classified as main lines, have two tracks and are electrified. ==History== After the Prussian state railways had taken over all the major private railway companies in the 1880s, the various rail networks had to be integrated effectively. Although networks of the Cologne-Minden Railway Company (CME), the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company (BME) and the Rhenish Railway Company (RhE) were quite connected, at times the lines were separated and elsewhere they ran parallel. After the nationalisation, many lines had repeated connections but could not be operated optimally. The RhE’s Troisdorf–Mülheim-Speldorf railway ran parallel to the Cologne–Duisburg railway built by the CME and connected with Duisburg station (now called ''Duisburg Hauptbahnhof'') before its nationalisation. From there, the RhE’s Duisburg–Quakenbrück railway ran towards Oberhausen again roughly parallel to the Duisburg–Dortmund railway (and the Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg railway) of the CME. Since both lines of the RhE had never had great importance for passenger services, these are now used mainly for freight and the Oberhausen West passenger station (formerly ''Oberhausen RhE'' station) was closed before 1897, with passenger services being transferred to the CME lines. A freight yard was built in place of the former Rhenish station, which had several ladder crossovers and more than seventy shunting and sorting tracks. On 1 June 1891, a new connection was created to the Oberhausen-Osterfeld Süd freight yard on the Duisburg-Ruhrort–Dortmund railway (formerly CME). Then, on 1 October 1901, a completely new, two-track line was taken into operation on the eastern outskirts of Duisburg, running directly from Duisburg-Wedau freight yard to Düssern junction (now Sigle junction) to avoid through freight trains going through Duisburg station. Ten years later, the bypass line was extended parallel to the existing line to Oberhausen West as a double-track line,〔 at the same time an additional double-track line was opened from Duisburg-Hochfeld Süd freight yard to Düssern junction on 17 September 1911. Thus, the line between Lotharstraße junction and Walzwerk junction now had four tracks. 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-Wedau–Bottrop Süd railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
