Breisgau suburban railway 2020 section Höllentalbahn West
Complex assignment in the area of the Germany’s steepest main line
Customer: DB Netz AG, KarlsruheConstruction period: 8 months Year of construction: 2018
- Complete shutdown of the lines 4300 and 4301 from Freiburg main station to Titisee and station Bärental. Thanks to the complete shutdown, works are being carried out simultaneously in partial areas on the overhead line, point heating, superstructure. Passages and rock consolidations are also newly constructed. Part of the lines only have one track, therefore all track-bound vehicles were equipped with a tracker, which makes it possible to locate the equipment on the construction site and coordinate it accordingly.
