Шаблон:Orphan Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox rail line The Drei-Ähren Railway (German for Three Ears of Corn Railway, French Voie Ferrée Trois Épis) consisted of the Шаблон:Track gauge track gauge Electric Tramway from Türkheim to Drei-Ähren and the Шаблон:Track gauge track gauge Military Light Railway from Drei-Ähren to Uhlhorst at Drei-Ähren near Colmar in Alsace.

Electric Tramway from Türkheim to Drei-Ähren

History

From 5 June 1899, the Electric Tramway from Türkheim to Drei-Ähren connected the small town of Türkheim, located Шаблон:Convert west of Colmar, with the pilgrimage church at Drei Ähren (French Trois Épis). The construction of the railway went back to an initiative of the electricity company Schuckert & Co. from Nuremberg, while the Alsace was an Imperial Territory of Germany.

At times there were plans to extend the route from Türkheim to Winzenheim and thereby connect it to Colmar's secondary railway and tram network.[1] The plans were, however, not implemented. After an interruption of operations in the First World War since 1919 under the name Société d’Electricité de Turckheim et Tramways de Turckheim aux Trois Epis (TTE), the railway was shut down on 1 April 1937.

Route

Drei-Ähren (now Trois Épis) lays good 400 meters higher than Türkheim, which gave the railway the character of a mountain railway - albeit without cogwheel operation. It had a total length of Шаблон:Convert and the maximum gradient was 1 in 10.2 (9.8%).

The electrical plant for the power supply was Шаблон:Convert of the terminus and had a siding which branched off into four tracks to coal bunker, a repair shop and the car shed with 2 stands for 3 cars each.

Operation

In addition to a freight car and a baggage car, seven tram cars were available for operation. The average speed was Шаблон:Convert on the ascent and Шаблон:Convert on the descent. The lower sixth of the railway line could be driven uphill at Шаблон:Convert.[2]

Military Light Railway from Drei-Ähren to Uhlhorst

Шаблон:Infobox rail line

History

During the First World War, the military construction division R 22 laid a Шаблон:Convert long military light railway with a track gauge of Шаблон:Track gauge to Uhlhorst station, around the front line at Lingekopf, Kleinkopf, Barrenkopf and Hartmannsweilerkopf west of Drei-Ähren. Its objective was to transport building materials for the bunkers, barbed wire, weapons, ammunition and supplied to the front line and on the way back bring wounded soldiers to the hospitals.[3] Thousands of French and German soldiers were killed in the battles along this railway line.[4]

On 31 December 1917, the Bavarian FeBA 24 (Feldbahnamt, Light Railway Office) took over the line and operated it until May 1918. After that, FeBA 50 took over the line until the end of the war.[5][6]

Route

Шаблон:Stack At the upper terminus of the electric tramway, the goods were reloaded onto the narrow-gauge waggons on the light railway line. These could be hauled upwards on a winch-operated single-track incline car to the military light railway station on the square in front of the pilgrimage church in Drei-Ähren.

At the Bärenstall (literally Bear Cage) station, a branch line turned north to the Lingekopf. The main line continued via Schratzmännle, Barrenkopf and Kleinkopf to the Uhlhorst terminus north of Hohrodberg.[5][6]

There was a double-track incline between Barrenkopf and Kleinkopf, which overcame a height difference of Шаблон:Convert on a Шаблон:Convertlong piece of the route.[7] The conveyor track has been decommissioned in the postwar period and lifted by French troops.[5] Шаблон:Multiple image

Operation

The military light railway line was operated as a horse-drawn railway or with a benzene locomotive. The journey time was about 1½ hours.
