HOCH PUSTERTAL TRAINS

MOUNTAIN TRAINS Hoch Pustertal - Alta Pusteria Gianfranco Lelmi Alta Pusteria (Hoch Pustertal) in Italy refers to the valley of the Drava River with its tributary the Rio Sesto, the upper valley of Rienza with municipalities Villabassa, Monguelfo, Braies Dobbiaco San Candido Sesto. For the Austrians is that part of the territory that borders South Tyrol, Veneto, Carinthia and Salzburg region. The most important town of this region is Lienz which also acts as the capital of East Tyrol. At the center of this beautiful region is the border between Italy and Austria in the area called Prato alla Drava (Winnebach) at an altitude of 1131. The highlight of the whole line is the station of Toblach in Italian territory, located at 1210 meters above sea level. The departure station of this line is Fortezza located 747 meters above sea level, after 14 station reach San Candido (1176 m.), to enter shortly afterwards in Austrian territory. The first station that you find in Austria is Weitlanbrunn (1111 m.), then we have Sillian which is the most important town of the valley, before arriving in Lienz (674 m). From the border there are six stations, the train from Dobbiaco to Lienz, in a distance of forty km, down to 536 meters. The route most spectacular and even longer, is considered by the experts, the stretch from Fortezza to San Candido for the relevance of the artifacts as bridges and other engineering works. It is not less the Austrian railway track, with a difference in level of more than five hundred meters over a distance of about 50 km is quickly overcome by the trains, through a land still intact, beautiful mountains, villages that look like miniatures, a fairytale landscape. The works for the construction of the railway, edited by Bavarian firms Hugel, Sager and Angermann, under the technical direction of Wilhelm and Karl Prenninger date back to July 27, 1869. With the use of 966 workers, 281 engineers, 58 horses a day, after a little more than two years, exactly on November 30, 1871 the first trains began to circulate, although the materials and techniques of today. not existed at the time. With the arrival of the train, it was expected tourism. In fact, in Dobbiaco began the construction of the Grand Hotel. Territory located under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the connection Lienz - Fortezza - was very important because it allowed the connection between Bolzano, Innsbruck and East Tyrol. In fact, only in 1909 was opened connecting Villach - Schwarzach St. Weit that allowed to reach the Brenner as an alternative. The World War l, show the importance of this railway, all supplies direct to you Dolomite front passed through. After the war, with the passage of South Tyrol to Italy, this rail link lost importance, passed only a few local trains and during the summer were made some connections such as Rome - San Candido, Milan - San Candido, with some connections as Merano - Vienna, Monaco - Lienz. Much appreciated was the direct with sleeping car and couchette from Rome to San Candido during the summer and winter tourist season. On 5 September 1946, Italy and Austria signed an agreement in Paris entitled "Transit facilitated" (Korridorzuge) to allow direct connections between Lienz and Innsbruck, non-stop service in the Italian territory, the first Austrian trains began to pass in 1948 using locomotives series 5145 and later diesel locomotives series 2043. There was also the Alpensee Express (weekly direct connection Dortmund - San Candido) that worked during the winter season. During and after the World War ll, the circulatied steam locomotive FS gruppo740, after 1961 took over the 741. In January 1975 the first diesel locomotives were used, especially in Austria of 2043 Group. Because of problems that locomotives steam and diesel met on mountain railways, in May 27, 1989 the route Fortezza - San Candido was electrified with cc3kV, while from San Candido to Lienz was adopted the c.a. single-phase 15kV. Subsequently, the Austrian railways made ready a type of engine that could use both types of current, the OBB (Austrian Railways) began to use the locomotives 1822,003 between Dobbiaco and San Candido at the end of 1993. Were built only five specimens, then the project to produce more was shelved. On July 29, 1996, five specimens were used on the route Innsbruck -- Lienz via Brenner Fortezza on a course of 184 km, which required three hours of travel. They were also used for the transfer of bicycles and cyclists between Lienz and San Candido, then the Austrian Federal Railways decided to sell this locomotives to unify the traction. In 2006 entered into service locomotives Dispolok Siemens ES 64 F4-189 group, then took over the locomotives of 1216 group. Surely, as confirmed by the President of Alto Adige Durnwalder, the future it is of the train. Informations: http://infomountain.altervista.org 19.11.2012
