|} The Kassel–Warburg Railway is a line that connects Kassel in the north of the German state of Hesse with Warburg in eastern Westphalia. The line was opened in 1848 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany. It forms part of the Mid-Germany Railway ((ドイツ語:Mitte-Deutschland-Verbindung)), an east-west through line in central Germany, used by long-distance and regional passenger and freight trains. ==History == The track was originally built by the Frederick William Northern Railway (''Friedrich-Wilhelms-Nordbahn-Gesellschaft'', FWNG) as the ''Carl Railway'' (or ''Charles Railway'', (ドイツ語:Carl Bahn)) from Kassel, the capital of the Electorate of Hesse (''Kurhessen''), to the port of Bad Karlshafen (then called ''Carlshaven'', German for "Port Charles", after Charles I, Hesse’s ruler from 1670 to 1730) on the left bank of the Weser, one of the northernmost places in the contiguous part of Kurhessen. The first section from Grebenstein via Hümme to Karlshafen on the south bank of the Wesser was completed on 30 March 1848. A few months later, on 29 August 1848, the remainder of the line was completed between Kassel and Grebenstein. Soon after the completion of the line, rail transport became important for connecting with sea transport, so the ''Frederick William Northern Railway'' started building a new line from Hofgeismar-Hümme station towards Warburg in Westphalia, under an agreement between Kurhessen and Prussia. The small border town of Haueda was reached on 6 March 1849. Since the track in Westphalia was originally the responsibility of the ''Cologne-Minden-Thuringian Connecting Railway Company'' (''Köln-Minden-Thüringische-Verbindungs-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft''), which in the meantime became bankrupt, it was not until 6 February 1851, that the Royal Westphalian Railway Company (''Königlich-Westfälische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'') completed the section of its Hamm–Warburg line between Warburg and the border. 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「Kassel–Warburg railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
