|} The Münster–Enschede railway is a 64 km long, continuous single-track and non-electrified branch line from Münster via Gronau in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia to Enschede in the Netherlands. Regionalbahn service RB 64 (''Euregio-Bahn'') runs over it. The Münster-Enschede Railway Company (''Münster-Enscheder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', MEE) planned the line and started its construction, but its completion was carried out by the Royal Westphalian Railway Company (''Königlich-Westfälische Eisenbahn'', KWE), which was funded by the Prussian government. == History == After the KWE took over the Münster-Hamm Railway Company (''Münster-Hammer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft''), together with its line to Munster, in 1855, it continued this line to the north in 1856. In Rheine it connected with the Royal Hanoverian State Railways’ Emsland Railway to Emden and through it to the Almelo–Salzbergen railway of the ''Spoorweg-Maatschappij Almelo-Salzbergen'' (Almelo-Salzbergen railway company). In 1870, the MEE received a concession to build a new line to the Netherlands and started construction from Münster to Enschede. When it became insolvent in 1874, the KWE took it over and continued construction of the line to Gronau. The last part to Enschede was built and subsequently operated jointly with the Dortmund-Gronau-Enschede Railway Company (''Dortmund-Gronau-Enscheder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft'', DGEE). 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「Münster–Enschede railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
