What the mainfra is up to: Say goodbye to the old track to Budjovice, I only have two days
Map of lines 220 between Prague n. and eskmi Budjovicemi
The route from Prague via Beneov, Tbor and dl to Esk Budjovice originated in the second half of the nineteenth century as Drha Frantik Josef (KFJB). It served as a union of Prague and Vdn.
The first train set out from Prague to Vesel nad Lunic in 1871, and the section to Budjovice, Czech Republic, was opened three years later. Today, three of the fourth expressway corridors are being built, and the section between Prague and Beneov is one of the busiest in the country.
We drove off from the Prague main railway to Stranice once, with a steam main from Vtopny Zlchov (here). At that time, we managed to cross the now closed side of Stranice.
Today we will set out on a journey by another machine and our own on a different route. In the meantime, two new stations, Praha-Eden and Praha Zahradn msto, were put into operation in Prague. Let’s replace the steam locomotive with an electric locomotive eskch drah ady 380.
The main reason why we go to the Czech Budjovice today today is different. At the beginning of this, there is a long train between Votice and Sudomice u Tbora, when the original single-track track will be completely genuine. Trains should run on the brand new corridor from July. Thus, the dark 20-kilometer track, which remembers driving Austria-Hungary, will disappear.
The old route between Votice and Chotoviny will be changed into a cycle path.
It will be similar a month later on the next single-track section from Plan nad Lunic to Sobslav. There, the trains should start along the new corridor this year in the Czech Republic. Compared to the current 80 kilometers of speed, trains in the new sections will be able to run and 160 km per hour, time and 200.
Unfortunately, the station of Hemanika with unique mechanical entrances will disappear, but in Stezim, on the contrary, a museum and a track with wood-powered trees should be established. Wed canceled track changes to a bike path.
You can get the project from Prague to the Czech Budjovice in 6 minutes:
On the outskirts of Prague on the new line
Another express eskch drah we will take out the main railway in Prague and immediately go through the historical II. through the Vinohrady tunnel. Behind us is the building of the former Krlovsk Vinohrady branch (we spoke on the series The track is gone) and get to the reconstructed station Prague-Vrovice.
The legendary Poszavsk Pacific runs behind the main line (we passed the branch to eran heredobskou vtev here). The express will be found on the new line, the original trains ran to the left towards the residential buildings of Vrovice, today the arch is shortened and the tracks are laid more than Bohdalec.
We will pass a new stop Prague-Eden, which was led by the original route on the left. Today we go straight to the Prague Garden City station. After that we continue again along the original route.
Vinohrady head station Prague-Vrovice
And we don’t have to get the maximum speed on the Czech railways to the outskirts of Prague, we have to take into account the city trains that stop here between. In contrast, Jin Express has only one stop in Tboe on the route to the Czech Budjovice.
We will go through a small pig, in Stranice we will pass an interesting lift to the Velkopopovický brewery and after a few minutes we will find Szava in erany. There we meet Horn Poszavsk Pacific from Svtl nad Szavou (we drove it here) i Doln Poszavsk Pacifik z praskch Vrovic (Na co zr mainfra here).
In Beneov we have a train to Vlaimi, then to Trhovho tpnov. Two led to Dolny Kralovice, but the two of the two villages had to be shortened (see The track is gone). In addition, regular passenger transport to Trhovho tpnov ended in December last year. This is due to the fact that trains to the ends of the station will resume on empty trains thanks to the private carrier Railway Capital.
Behind Beneov, my system is energized. From Prague there is a train and a direct current of 3 kV, from Beneov a current of 25 kV, 50 Hz. In the future, the first railways are going to be unified, but it is not clear when it will be.
We will pass the maximum speed after the new double-track cut. This section was completed in 2013, a total of three tunnels were created on it: Tomick II, Tomick I, Zahradnick and Olbramovick.
The corridor between Beneov and Votice was replaced by a corridor in 2013.
Louen after 151 years
In Olbramovice we pass the route to Sedlan, and we pass to Votic. Not far from the station, a newly built corridor will be built, which will take several times and to which traffic will soon be transferred.
The first mechanical braces appear in front of us, we break into Hemaniek. Behind the station, the old route is approaching the new one, a new installation, an anti-vandal concrete booth, can also be seen.
The legendary station of Hemanika with mechanical entrances will also disappear.
On the new line, a large station for freight trains and the Debore tunnel will be built behind the Hemaniks. Star tra is a dog through the Czech Sibi winds several arches. Let’s have the Jeetice station, which rings the edge, and after a while we go to Stezime. A museum by Frantik Josef should be established here;
At Mezna, we will see a new corridor for a short time. We definitely connect to the double-track line in front of the Sudomice u Tbora branch. We will cross the new Sudomick tunnel and cross the interesting bridge over the D3. We head to Tbora, the only stop on the Jinho express route. Going ahead, the eskomoravsk transverzlka from Psk connects to the right to line 220 (we passed it here).
With the wind for the lead
In Tboe there is one of the most remarkable railway lines in the US, Kikova Bechyk from 1903, which is the first purely electric railway in the US. Of course, after n my virtual project.
At the Budweis headquarters of the Tskor station, the eskomoravsk transverzlka will return again via Chnov and Pelhimov to Horn Cerekva and Jihlava (sec from Pelhimov to Jihlava is visible here).
And we have to go to Plan nad Lunic again at the highest speed limit. Behind the station, this is narrowing again, we are going one dormitory again. The old route to Sobslav should be great during this summer.
Behind Sobslav there is a route along the new D3 motorway, before Veselm nad Lunic we will cross the route from Jihlava, behind it again a line from Velenice, Czech Republic. The next sec to evna will light up in a few minutes.
In fact, the last single-track point on the track to the Czech Budjovice and through Hluboká nad Vltavou Zmost to Nemanice. A double-track railway should be established here as well. At first a railway line with two tunnels, Khotansk should be almost five kilometers, Hosnsk over three kilometers. The situation should be sometime in those years.
Before the Czech Budjovice pass the so-called Nemanick clutch, which allows the train to travel from Tbora in a straight line to Protivn. Passenger trains use it only rarely.
The section between the Czech Budjovice and Evt will remain single-track for some time.
Behind the junction, let’s find the main line from Protivno and, among other things, the lift of the Budweiser brewery. After a minute, Jin Express esk drah stops at the esk station Budjovice. We completed the entire route from Prague in less than two hours;
Not to forget, from the Czech Budjovice dormitories continue for a long time. One direction leads to Linz, Austria (The extinct track about the original conspiracy can be found here), kind to Krumlov and Novho dol (Mainfru from this line you can see here).
