Usedomer Bäderbahn – UBB

Die UBB wurde 1995 als 100%-ige Tochter der Deutschen Bahn AG gegründet. In den darauf folgenden Jahren wurden das völlig marode Schienennetz sowie die überalterte Sicherungstechnik grundlegend saniert. Damit die Fahrgäste nur kurze Wege zu den Zügen der UBB zurücklegen müssen, wurden mehrere neue Haltepunkte errichtet.

Seit Sommer 2000 fahren die Züge der UBB über Wolgaster Fähre hinaus über die neue große Peenebrücke in Wolgast bis nach Züssow und seit Ende 2002 bis nach Stralsund und mit einmal Umsteigen bis nach Barth. Am 20. September 2008 fand dann nach mehr als 10-jähriger Vorbereitungszeit die feierliche Eröffnung des neuen Streckenabschnittes Ahlbeck Grenze – Świnoujście Centrum statt. Betreiber dieses Abschnittes ist das Tochterunter-nehmen der UBB, die UBB Polska. So ist die UBB als Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen präsent auf 152,48 km von Świnoujście Centrum über Zinnowitz, Wolgast, Züssow, Greifswald und Stralsund bis nach Barth sowie von Zinnowitz nach Peenemünde.

Rubenlandbahn 25 Kv

Am 1. Januar 1950 wurde die 1946 verstaatlichte Halberstadt-Blankenburger Eisenbahn von der Deutschen Reichsbahn übernommen.

Zwischen 1960 und 1965 wurde die Rübelandbahn elektrifiziert, um den Rohstoff Kalk aus den Brüchen bei Rübeland in größeren Mengen abtransportieren zu können. Als Stromsystem kam für den Inselbetrieb nicht das in Deutschland übliche Bahnstromsystem Einphasenwechselstrom 15 kV, 16,7 Hz, sondern Einphasenwechselstrom 25 kV mit 50 Hz zum Einsatz, der im Unterwerk an der Ausfahrt von Blankenburg mit Hilfe von Transformatoren aus dem 110-kV-Stromnetz der Landesversorgung entnommen wurde. Am 1. August 1966 wurde der elektrische Betrieb aufgenommen und seitdem kam auf der Rübelandbahn die für diese Strecke konstruierte Baureihe 251 zum Einsatz. Da zahlreiche Anwohner der Rübelandbahn wegen der Lärm- und Rußemissionen der Diesellokomotiven gegen den Dieselbetrieb protestierten, wollte das Land Sachsen-Anhalt den elektrischen Güterzugbetrieb mit 450.000 Euro fördern. 2007 wurden die Oberleitungsmasten, teilweise auch der Fahrdraht und die Speiseleitungen erneuert. Dadurch ist nach zwei Jahren Pause wieder elektrischer Zugbetrieb möglich.(Wikipedia)
