The Eggmühl–Langquaid railway also known as the Schierling–Langquaid branch line (Lokalbahn Schierling–Langquaid) or Laaber Valley Railway (Laabertalbahn),[3] is a standard gauge branch line[4] in the state of Bavaria in southern Germany. It fruns from Eggmühl to Langquaid and is operated by the Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn (RSE).[5]

History

The line was opened in 1903. Goods traffic was hauled by steam traction until 1964 and thereafter with diesel locomotives. In 1968 passenger services were withdrawn.[6] In 1996 it was announced that goods traffic was also going to be closed down. However, in cooperation with a local initiative and local politicians, the Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn took over the Eichbühl–Lanquaid section from DB Netz on 1 January 2000. Five years later the section from Eggmühl to Eichbühl was added. Since 2001, goods trains have been hauled by a Class MV 9 locomotive built by Orenstein & Koppel, which had been purchased from the Zeil am Main sugar factory.[7]

The goods facilities at Eggmühl, Schierling and Langquaid are served by the Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn in cooperation with Railion Deutschland using unit or block trains which are loaded up on loading sidings.[8] On several Sundays and public holidays passenger trains are also laid on; details are given in the in Deutsche Bahn timetable.[9]
