}} }} The Nuremberg–Cheb railway is a 151 km long, non-electrified main line, mainly in the German state of Bavaria. It runs from Nuremberg via Lauf an der Pegnitz, Hersbruck, Pegnitz, Kirchenlaibach, Marktredwitz and Schirnding to Cheb in the Czech Republic. The route is also known as the ''Right'' (bank of the) ''Pegnitz line'' ((ドイツ語:rechte Pegnitzstrecke) or the ''Pegnitz Valley Railway'' (''Pegnitztalbahn''). It was built as the ''Fichtel Range Railway'' (''Fichtelgebirgsbahn'').〔(Landesamt für Denkmalpflege )〕 The Nuremberg–Schnabelwaid section of it is part of the Saxon-Franconian trunk line (''Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale''). ==History == The line was originally intended to provide a direct link between Nuremberg and Bayreuth, adding to the Bayreuth–Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg branch line opened in 1853 from the Bamberg–Hof section of the Ludwig South-North Railway. Since the route via Bamberg was not a satisfactory solution, planning began on a direct connection to Nuremberg. Several variants were considered, running via: Forchheim–Ebermannstadt, Gräfenberg–Pegnitz, Schnaittach–Betzenstein and Neuhaus–Pegnitz, with the last selected. A direct connection from Nuremberg to Bohemia was developed in three stages from Schnabelwaid to Cheb (then a mainly German-speaking city in the Austrian Empire, called Eger). First, a year after the opening of the Bayreuth route on 15 May 1878, the section was opened from Schnabelwaid via Kirchenlaibach and Laibach to Marktredwitz. The next section from Marktredwitz to Schirnding followed on 20 November 1879 and the gap from Schirnding to Cheb was closed on 1 November 1883. The originally single-track line was duplicated in 1898 and1899 between Nuremberg and Marktredwitz, with traffic cleared to use both tracks in 1901. 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「Nuremberg–Cheb railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
