The Wuppertal-Vohwinkel-Essen-Essen-Eben-Eben-Eben-Essen-Essen-Eben is a 30 kilometer long, continuously two -track and electrified main route. In the area of ​​the Ruhrbrücke Steele, it has only been a single -track since 1945. This oldest route in Germany is still under the name Prinz-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn (PWE) known. It connects the Wuppertal sink through the Niederbergische Land with the Ruhr valley.

Deilthaler Railway Aktiengesellschaft [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1831 the precursor route was Deilthaler railway From Byfang via Hinsbeck (Ruhr) (today Essen-Kupferdreh) to Nierenhof (today to Velbert) through the Deilbach valley, which of the Deilthaler Railway Aktiengesellschaft was built and operated.

Prinz-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1844 the Deilthaler railway stock company was in Prinz-Wilhelm-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft renamed. On June 21, 1844, the company received the concession for the expansion of its previous route between the Nierenhof and Hinsbeck (Essen-Cupperrieh). The route was converted to normal gauge (1435 millimeters) until Vohwinkel continued to be built in the south or in the north and handed over passenger traffic on December 1, 1847.

Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

After the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME for short) had already carried out the operation of the route since March 27, 1854, it took over the PWE together with its route on January 1, 1863.

She continued to build the route northeast to Steele (in the meantime Steele Hbf , today Essen-Steele Ost train station , with a connection to her railway line Witten/Dortmund – Oberhausen/Duisburg) opened three years earlier), and from there further along the Ruhr via Dahlhausen (Ruhr) to Langendreer BME. The Essen-Oberruhr-Bochum-Langendreer railway line was opened five months later on June 1, 1863.

Head station train station [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Former station head station

After the opening of the route in 1847, to overcome the slope in a spiky at the “Head Station station” in the Siebeneicker valley “headed”, d. H. the direction of travel can be changed. The need for this fell away in 1868 with the neutralization of the route, the train station was closed.

The name head station for the area is still used to this day, the former reception building still exists. It is on Siebeneicker Straße and is currently privately owned.

Ruhrtalbahn [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

On February 1, 1872, the BME opened the first part of its Ruhrtalbahn, the Düsseldorf-Oberbilk-Essen-Kupferdreh railway line, a further part in 1874, the Essen-Überruhr-Hagen-Vorhalle railway line (with connection to the parent line Elberfeld-Dortmund).

Both routes are no longer linked to the Prinz-Wilhelm Railway, the sections from Essen-Kupferdroh to Essen-Werden and from Essen-Überruhr via Altendorf (today Essen-Burgaltendorf) to Bochum-Dahlhausen are shut down and partially dismantled.

Local train N 9 between copper shoot and Nierenhof 1986 before electrification

In the 1970s it began to expand the central Ruhr area main route for the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn. On February 1, 1978, a direct connection from Essen-over-Ruhr to Essen-Steele (then still Essen-Steele West) was created for the first time with a new connecting curve (VZG section 2193), at the same time the passenger traffic on the section of Essen-overcover ended Essen-Steele East. The new connection curve, like the previous section of the route, is single -track. The latter is available, but now has grown partly.

This resulted in completely new possibilities of pollution. Instead of Essen-Steele Ost (then still Essen-Steele , formerly Steele Hbf ) and further east, the trains from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel were now led to Essen Central Station. The section from Essen-Steele Ost to the Bochum-Dahlhausen West junction had already been taken over by the S-Bahn line S 3 from May 26, 1974.

Since December 15, 2003, this route has also been upgraded for the S-Bahn and has been electrified over the entire length. The Velbert-Rosenhügel stop was rebuilt and the Velbert-Neviges train station was laid. In addition, Aprath station, which was dismissed in 1965, was put back into operation as the Wülfrath-Aprath stop. Nothing is now reminiscent of the Dornap train station, which was also closed in 1965, because the old platforms were also removed during the expansion. These had to give way to the electrification set up on the entire route.

The S-Bahn line S 9 drove every 20 minutes on weekdays, on weekends every 30 minutes, coming from Wuppertal Hauptbahnhof the entire route from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel via Langenberg to Essen-overcover and further via the connecting routes 2165 and 2193 to Essen-Steele. From there it continues via Essen Central Station to Bottrop Hauptbahnhof and once an hour via Gelsenkirchen-Buer Nord and Marl to Haltern am See.

According to the operating program, the vehicle insert was always quite uniform. If over two decades, the turning trains formed exclusively from the 212 and Silberlings series were driven, so from the early 1990s instead of the heavily required 212 more powerful diesel locomotives from the 216 series were used. This lasted until May 1998 and was then replaced by the 218 series. At the same time, the first section of the S 9 was put into operation with Haltern-Bottrop-Essen-Steele East, the operating program of the trains, which has meanwhile been known as RB 49, changed so that they only drove every hour north of Essen to Borken instead of Haltern, Only the more important train stations were operated between food and bottrop. With the continuous electrification, the old operating program was restored, the Haltern – Bottrop – Essen – Wuppertal route now forms a unit and is continuously used by the S 9. First of all, the turning trains from X-Wagen, covered with the 143 series, were used, a few months later, the electrical engine of the 420 series. From spring 2009 to December 2019, the traffic was completely handled with the 422 series. Since December 15, 2019, Stadler Flirt railcars have been on the road here.

In about two years of construction, the route was raised in the area of ​​the Essen-Kupferdreh station. [3] The platform was released for traffic on August 6, 2012, and buses were temporarily used during the acute conversion phase of two weeks. [4] The building ramps of the building have a tendency of 35 per thousand. [5]

Since the 2019 clock change in the Rhein-Ruhr S-Bahn, the S 9 has only been driving the route every 30 minutes (Recklinghausen Hbf / Haltern am See-Gladbeck West Bottrop Hbf-Essen-Velbert -wuppertal Hbf-Hagen Hbf). The Wupper-Lippe-Express (RE 49) between Wuppertal and Wesel is also on the road every hour. In contrast to the S 9, this only sticks to selected stations and thus lowers the travel time. [6]

Due to the flood of centuries of the Deilbach, the route between Essen-Steele and Wuppertal-Vohwinkel has not been used for several months since July 15, 2021 due to the infinite and destruction of infrastructure [7] . On December 12, 2021, the route went into regular operation from December 27, 2021 [8] .
