Railway line Oldenburg - Wilhelmshaven

The railway line Oldenburg-Wilhelmshaven built in the 1930s was in two sections still single- track and had various shortcomings. The track system was not up to the forecast freight traffic, especially after the opening of the Jade-Weser-Port.

In the 3rd stage of development, the upgraded line was completely double-tracked, electrified and the permissible pace increased to 120 km/h.

The 52 km long route is largely over marshes. The subsoil conditions are very often characterized by soft layers (i.a. clay and peat) and the groundwater is very high.
