Offers of DB Lines in 2003

Before a line can be decommisioned it has to be offered to third parties. The Second Law on Revision of Railway Related Regulations (Zweites Gesetz zur Änderung eisenbahnrechtlicher Vorschriften) allowed to publish such offers through the internet. Deutsche Bahn AG does so on http://www.bahn.de/konzern/netz/infrastruktur/die_bahn_abgabe_eisenbahninfra.shtml.

Since offers are removed after the deadline they will be collected here.

Notes

0) Line closed temporarly.
1) The line was already decommissioned between 09.1996 and 04.2000.
3) 'The line is one of the lines that connect Dortmund freigt station (Dortmund Güterbahnhof [Gbf]) with the railway network. Since station Dortmund Gbf has lost its importance for public freight traffic in 2001 and will be closed continued operation of this line does not make sense to DB Netz AG.'
11) 'This single track line is only used for freight traffic. Services to sidings still existing in Dortmund-Eving have been provided not by this line but through the infrastructure of Dortmunder Eisenbahn und Häfen AG for some time.' 'In relation to the decommision of line 2101 (Dortmund-Eving - Dortmund-Obereving – m.h.) and abandonment of connection to line 2100 (Dortmund Hbf—Lünen Hbf) the station Dortmun-Eving will be closed. Some of its tracks will be assigned to station Dortmund-Obereving as "Shunting sector Dortmund-Eving" (Rangierbereich Dortmund-Eving) without direct connection.'
12) 'Operation temporarly suspended due to poor condition of tracks and railway crossings' 'Negations with Cloppenburg county regarding their taking over the line in decommissioned state are underway.'
13) still freight traffic between Prenzlau and Prenzlau West, operation of remaining line temporarly suspended
14) 'The section is isolated from the remaining network of DB Netz AG and connects in km 35,0 (near Hessisch Lichtenau) to the infrastructure of Regionalbahn Kassel GmbH (RBK). A Infrastrukturanschlussvertrag with RBK is necessary in case of continued operation of the section by someone interested.'
15) 'The line is temporarly closed between the stations of Gernrode and Ermsleben since 4 Jul 2003 due to an incident at the signal box Ballenstedt.'
