Mangfall Valley Railway
The Mangfall Valley Railway (german: Mangfalltalbahn) () is a single-tracked, electrified railway that runs through the Mangfall valley in Bavaria, Germany, between Holzkirchen and Rosenheim. It is exclusively used by regional services. However it also acts as a diversionary line in case of difficulties on the Munich–Rosenheim railway. History The Mangfall Valley Railway was part of the first rail link between Munich and Rosenheim (and beyond that to Salzburg/ Kufstein), the so-called '' Maximiliansbahn''. It was built by the state of Bavaria and completed on 31 October 1857. At that time the route ended in the Rosenheim suburb of ''Am Roßacker''. Not until 13 November 1858 was the first "real" station opened in Rosenheim complete with locomotive shed and turntable. That locomotive shed still exists today and is used as an exhibition building (e.g. the ''Bajuwaren''- and ''Der Inn'' exhibitions). The railway was mainly used at that time to transport coal from the mine at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
