}} |map_state = }} The Duisburg–Quakenbrück railway is a former inter-regional German railway, built by the Rhenish Railway Company (RhE) from Duisburg in the western Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia to Quakenbrück in Lower Saxony on the border of the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. Some sections of it are now disused. The railway ran from Duisburg via Oberhausen West, Bottrop Nord, Dorsten, Coesfeld, Steinfurt and Rheine to Quakenbrück where it connected with the network of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg State Railways. The majority of the line is now closed. The southern section to Bottrop is now used only for freight. The section between Dorsten and Coesfeld is still used for passengers as timetable route 424. Regionalverkehr Münsterland (RVM) operates freight traffic over the section between Rheine and Spelle. For a detailed view of the section between Sigle junction and Walzwerk, see the Duisburg-Wedau–Bottrop Süd railway. ==History== The concession for the construction of 172.87 km-long railway line from Duisburg to Quakenbrück was granted to the Rhenish Railway Company on 9 June 1873. The line was completed on 1 July 1879 and thus entered into direct competition with the Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg railway, built by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company in the early 1870s, from the Ruhr via Munster and Osnabruck to Bremen (part of the "Hamburg–Venlo railway"). 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–Quakenbrück railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
