The Vilshofen (Niederb)–Aidenbach railway was a German branch line in the state of Bavaria which opened on 21 November 1898. Passenger traffic ceased in 1962 and all services were withdrawn in 1988. The line was then dismantled. == Planning and Construction == Originally there were plans in which Aidenbach was seen as the crossing station on a line from Vilshofen via Aidenbach to Pfarrkirchen. The railway from Landau an der Isar to Kröhstorf was to be extended to Aidenbach. In that way a local railway network and diversionary route would have been achieved. On 6 January 1883 a meeting took place in Aidenbach, which discussed the construction of a railway from Vilshofen via Aidenbach to Pfarrkirchen. This had been set up by the ''Gutsinspektor'' of the Aretin estates in Haidenburg, Baron von Hafenbrädl. Led by ''Reichsrat'' Aretin they decided, to send a petition to the Royal Bavarian State Government in Munich. On 29 February 1884 the railway committee responsible considered this ''Sekundärbahn'' ('secondary line'). However, according to a statement by the committee spokesman, Freiherr von Soden, a plan had already been agreed in 1869, in which this option had no place. On the contrary, the Rot Valley railway between Neumarkt-St. Veit and Pocking had been built in 1879; and the Pocking–Passau route was established in 1888. On 17 May 1885 representatives of the local communities gathered in Aidenbach to form a committee for the construction of a ''Lokalbahn'' ('local line'). Their plan envisaged a stub line from Vilshofen to Aidenbach. Farmers and businessmen provided the incentive. They argued that they could transport their products more easily on the railway. Once again they submitted a resolution to the Royal Ministry of Transport in Munich for building this 12.5 kilometre long route and offered financial support. The county (''Kreis''), district and private investors put up 31,000 marks. In addition, Aidenbach said it was prepared to make land available for the line, and to provide 100,000 bricks free of charge for the construction of Aidenbach station. On 16 March 1896, after planning had been completed, land purchased, the donated real estate from Aidenbach and Vilshofen acquired, profitability calculated and many other processes concluded, the Royal Bavarian State Railways in Munich gave permission for the construction of the line. The line was tested with a technical trial run by state railway management on 12 November 1898 and on 21 November 1898 it was opened for public services. The total cost of the line, including structures, came to 744,086 marks. 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「Vilshofen–Aidenbach railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
