TheFriedberg–Hanau railway is a 32.2 km long double-track, electrified mainline in the German state ofHesse. It connectsFriedberg andHanau. The line has the timetable number of 633 and it is integrated in theRhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (Rhine Main Transport Association) asRegionalbahn service RB 49.

History

[edit]

The line was authorised under an act of thePrussian parliament of 11 June 1873 and opened by thePrussian state railways in two phases. The first section was opened from Hanau to Heldenbergen-Windecken (nowNidderau) on 1 December 1879. The second section opened from Heldenbergen-Windecken to Friedberg for freight on 15 September 1881 and for passenger traffic on 15 October 1881.

Significance

[edit]

The importance of the route lies in freight traffic. It forms part of a trunk route from theRuhr region to Bavaria via theRuhr–Sieg railway, theDill Railway and theMain–Weser Railway fromGiessen to Friedberg via and continuing from Hanau via theMain–Spessart Railway.

The line is used as a detour during operational failures that occasionally occur due to the high utilisation of the Main–Weser Railway between Frankfurt and Friedberg or during construction work.

In passenger transport, the line was formerly served by theRegionalbahn trains of theHessische Landesbahn (HLB), usingGTW 2/6 rolling stock. There were no passenger services from Saturday evening until Monday morning and on public holidays. Although the line is electrified, the only vehicles used for passenger transport are diesel multiple units.

Since December 2011, DB Regio Hessen has had the concession to operate services on the line withBombardier Talent 2 electric multiple units. As the vehicles were not yet approved for operations the line continued to be served by GTW 2-6 operated by HLB. These were staffed by DB Regio Hessen.[2] From June 2013, DB Regio Hessen has operated this service at 2-hour intervals (every hour at peak hour on weekdays) with Talent vehicles, now numbered as RB 49.
