|- |} |} The Prims Valley Railway ((ドイツ語:Primstalbahn)) is a partly closed railway line that ran south from Nonnweiler to Primsweiler along the upper reaches of the Prims and then turned to the east and ran via Lebach to Neunkirchen in the German state of the Saarland. The Lebach–Neunkirchen section is still operated. ==History== It was built in three phases. The first section, which was about eight kilometres long, ran from Neunkirchen to Wemmetsweiler (and from there continued south towards Saarbrücken). It was opened on 15 October 1879 and is now part of the Fischbach Valley Railway. A Prussian law authorising the construction of the Hermeskeil–Wemmetsweiler line was approved on 10 May 1890. But construction to Hermeskeil did not begin until 15 April 1894. Because the whole line was being constructed simultaneously, the domestic labour market was soon exhausted and foreign workers from Italy and the Balkans had to be used. On 15 May 1897, the section from Wemmetsweiler to Lebach was taken in operation. The remaining 35.6 km to Nonnweiler was opened on 10 December 1897. The line from the beginning served workers from the thinly populated northern areas of the Saarland. Lines branched In Primsweiler to Dillingen (Saar) in the west, in Lebach to Völklingen over the Lebach–Völklingen railway and in Wemmetsweiler south towards Saarbrücken. Trains from Lebach-Jabach now run over the Wemmetsweiler curve, which was opened in 2006, and over the Fischbach Valley Railway to Saarbrücken. Trains from Illingen run through the new railway junction to Homburg. Passenger services on the Wadern–Nonnweiler section were closed on 3 October 1959 and freight traffic ended on 30 April 1968. However, few trains had run on this section since 1945. Passenger traffic between Wadern and Lebach and between Dillingen and Wadern ended on 30 May 1980. Regular freight traffic continued to Wadern until 30 May in 1992. After this time, the basalt works in Michelbach and the Meiser company in Limbach were served over the Dillingen branch. On 1 January 2005, the siding was sold to the Meiser company. The track is used by the railway company of the Dillinger Hütte (steelworks). Freight traffic between Primsweiler and Lebach-Jabach ended on 31 December 1987. The section from Nonnweiler to Mariahütte was operated for freight until 1999. The line between Mariahütte and Wadern was closed in November 1968. The connection curve from Mariahütte to Türkismühle was closed with it. Autobahn 1 now runs on part of the former line between Primstal and Mariahütte. The station buildings of Kastel, Primstal and Krettnich were demolished. The tracks between Wadern and Büschfeld were dismantled after 30 November 1993. 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「Prims Valley Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
