Lancaster and Carlisle Railway (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Die Lancaster and Carlisle Railway wurde im Juni 1844 gegründet. Die Gesellschaft sollte eine Eisenbahnverbindung zwischen den beiden Städten Lancaster und Carlisle ermöglichen. Im Juli 1844 wurde auf dem Pass des Shap Summit auf 278,59 m – dem höchsten Punkt der geplanten Strecke – mit dem Bau der Strecke begonnen. Die Verbindung wurde in zwei Teilstücken in Betrieb genommen. Am 22. September 1847 wurde die Strecke zwischen Lancaster und Oxenholme eröffnet. In Oxenholme zweigte die ebenfalls von der Lancaster and Carlisle Railway betriebene Kendal and Windermere Railway ab, die mit der Inbetriebnahme der Strecke von Lancaster nach Oxenholme bis nach Kendal den Betrieb aufnahm. Der Abschnitt zwischen Oxenholme und Carlisle wurde am 22. Dezember 1847 eröffnet.

dbo:abstract Die Lancaster and Carlisle Railway wurde im Juni 1844 gegründet. Die Gesellschaft sollte eine Eisenbahnverbindung zwischen den beiden Städten Lancaster und Carlisle ermöglichen. Im Juli 1844 wurde auf dem Pass des Shap Summit auf 278,59 m – dem höchsten Punkt der geplanten Strecke – mit dem Bau der Strecke begonnen. Die Verbindung wurde in zwei Teilstücken in Betrieb genommen. Am 22. September 1847 wurde die Strecke zwischen Lancaster und Oxenholme eröffnet. In Oxenholme zweigte die ebenfalls von der Lancaster and Carlisle Railway betriebene Kendal and Windermere Railway ab, die mit der Inbetriebnahme der Strecke von Lancaster nach Oxenholme bis nach Kendal den Betrieb aufnahm. Der Abschnitt zwischen Oxenholme und Carlisle wurde am 22. Dezember 1847 eröffnet. Der Bau der Strecke in dieser Zeit und mit dieser Streckenführung stellte eine beachtliche Leistung dar, denn am Shap Summit wurde die Bahnlinie nicht nur auf einer Länge von 800 m in den Felsen geschnitten, der Anstieg mit 1:75 in Richtung Norden war von vielen Zügen nur mit Unterstützung durch zusätzliche Lokomotiven, die zu diesem Zweck in Tebay stationiert waren, zu bewältigen. Als Alternative für eine Verbindung war auch eine Strecke entlang der Küste erwogen worden. Die Lancaster and Carlisle Railway hatte im Süden eine Anbindung an die Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway und im Norden an die Caledonian Railway. Die Gesellschaft war mit rund 10 % Gewinn für ihre Anteilseigner sehr profitabel, aber 1859 wurde die Lancaster and Carlisle Railway an die London and North Western Railway verpachtet und 1879 vollständig von ihr übernommen. Die Strecke zwischen Lancaster und Carlisle ist heute ein Teil der West Coast Main Line. (de) The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway was a main line railway opened between those cities in 1846. With its Scottish counterpart, the Caledonian Railway, the Company launched the first continuous railway connection between the English railway network and the emerging network in central Scotland. The selection of its route was controversial, and strong arguments were put forward in favour of alternatives, in some cases avoiding the steep gradients, or connecting more population centres. Generating financial support for such a long railway was a challenge, and induced the engineer Joseph Locke to make a last-minute change to the route: in the interests of economy and speed of construction, he eliminated a summit tunnel at the expense of steeper gradients. The sparseness of the population discouraged the addition of branch lines, with a small number of exceptions, although several east-west secondary routes made independent connection to the route. Establishing a joint station at Carlisle with the three other railway companies terminating there, seemed obviously appropriate, but proved hugely difficult, and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway funded the main station practically single-handedly, in the face of outright obstruction. The line was electrified in 1974 and at the present day is a key part of the West Coast Main Line, carrying long-distance passenger and freight trains. (en)
