}} The Heimbach (Nahe)–Baumholder Railway was opened in 1912. Today it is used exclusively for freight and military transport. It links to the Nahe Valley Railway west of Heimbach (Nahe). == History == Approval was given in 1897 to build a short railway from Heimbach to Baumholder. Preparation for the railway began in 1902. In 1908 Prussia passed an act to allow the railway to be built. The railway was open on December 15, 1912. A military training area was built in Baumholder between 1937 and 1938. As a result of this, the line experienced more activity and the number of tracks at the Baumholder station was increased. The passenger service on the line was stopped on May 31, 1981. After that, this stretch was served by passenger bus, most recently as bus route 322 of the ''Rhein-Nahe-Nahverkehrsverbund (RNN)''. There is no public transit service on the weekend. One exception to this was Rheinland-Pfalz Day in 2007. On this occasion there was service from June 29, 2007 to July 1, 2007, the first time since 1981 that there had been rail services on this stretch. The railway's infrastructure was acquired by the Baumholder Municipality from DB Netz in 2006. Both the sale price of 310,000 Euro and the investment of about 1.5 Million Euro were taken on by the Rhineland-Palatinate government. The yearly operational deficit of 100,000 Euro has been covered by the main users of the line, the US Army and the Bundeswehr with a ratio of 80 to 20.〔 Since December 10, 2006, Rheinland-Pfalz has used DB Schenker Rail for maintenance of the line.〔 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「Heimbach (Nahe)–Baumholder Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
