}} }} The Magdeburg–Thale railway is a predominantly single-track, non-electrified main line railway that connects Thale, in the northern Harz, with Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt. Its eastern section between Magdeburg and Halberstadt was opened in 1843 and it is one of the oldest railways in Germany. ==History== The Magdeburg-Halberstadt Railway Company ((ドイツ語:Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahngesellschaft), MHE) opened the Magdeburg–Halberstadt line on 15 July 1843. The secondary line from Halberstadt to Thale was opened 19 years later, in 1862. In 1967, the Langenweddingen rail disaster occurred on the line, the worst in the history of East Germany. The accident involved a bi-level train hitting a tanker truck at a level crossing, resulting in an explosion that killed 94 people, many of them children on their way to a summer camp in the Harz mountains. In the 1970s, four pairs of trains per day ran on the Magdeburg–Halberstadt section to or from Berlin, with some coaches to or from Thale. On 29 October 1988, the last scheduled steam-hauled train operated by East Germany railways ran between Thale and Halberstadt.〔Klappentext zu Dirk Endisch: ''Die Hauptstrecke Halberstadt–Thale''〕 In 1992, trains operated every two hours between Halberstadt, Berlin and Frankfurt (Oder) with trains stopping at all stations between Magdeburg and Thale; some additional services operated in busy periods. In 1995 long-distance services between Magdeburg and Halberstadt were stopped completely and were replaced by Regional-Express services, operating hourly. A collision between the ''Harz-Elbe Express'' and a freight train on the line on 29 January 2011 killed 10 people and injured 23. 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「Magdeburg–Thale railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
