Überherrn - Hargarten-Falck
|
The Catenary was discharged in 1994 on the German side and in the border-station
Überherrn (equipped with two sections, usage of dual-voltage locos), in 1995
also in France.
The whole DB track to Wadgassen was switchable to 25kV 50Hz. This
switchable part was used as test-track for the German industry producing locos for
25kV-systems.
Until 1986 DB classes 140 & 181 and SNCF class BB 12'000 & CC 14'100 were used
for international freight-trains. Inner-German passenger-trains were hauled by class 141
and before its closure in 1991 class 798 was in use. DB Netz AG offered operation of
'Überherrn - Überherrn Bundesgrenze' again in autumn 1997 successlessly.

Freight only, including trains operated since June 2005 by CFTA Cargo, with some
