Description

Today, 17 April 2009, the electricity was turned back on at the Ruebelandbahn, after a number of years out of use, due to environmental campaigning. A multi-million pound renovation of the electrical system was paid for by the regional government and the Goslar-based quarry which exports several million tonnes of stone products from their site on the line annually. Listen and read about it <a href="http://www.mdr.de/sachsen-anhalt/6292632.html">here</a> Passenger services were cancelled permanently in 2000. At the time of the photo, this train of mixed old and new livery carriages, was returning from Koenigshuette, rather than Elbingerode, where the service was pruned back to subsequently.

This line was unique on the Deutsche Reichsbahn, being supplied with 25kV AV electricity at 50Hz, rather than the 15kV at 16.66 Hz. Thus, the locomotives were restricted to the wires between Blankenburg and Koenigshuette. Gradients of upto 15 per cent were worked by adhesion. It looks like this photo was taken at about the higest point of the line.
