Neumarkt-Sankt Veit – Landshut railway

The Neumarkt-Sankt Veit–Landshut railway is a single-tracked, unelectrified main line in Bavaria in southern Germany.

Construction of the line from Landshut to Neumarkt a. Rott (now Neumarkt-Sankt Veit) was authorised on 1 February 1880 and the 38.88 km long route was opened on 4 October 1883.

On 1 June 1889 the railway was designated as a main line and its top speed raised to 50 km/h.

Since 10 June 2007 school specials have been introduced to and from Landshut with a DB Class 218 diesel locomotive hauling four double-decker coaches.

Additional measures to speed traffic up will mean that in December 2009 there will also be hourly services at the stops en route.
