At May 22 and 23, 2004, the 100th anniversary of the Railway line Giesing-Aying was
celebrated.
The first steam engines, which ran at this line, were the barvarian state railway
series D XI (later German state railway serial number 98.4-5), B V (not
taken over by the "Deutsche Reichsbahn"), B VI (34.74) and D I (88.70).
Some years later, additionally the series C VI (54.13) and Pt 2/3 (70.0)
came to the line.
Since 1926, the accumulator railcars of type Wittfeld (designated as ETA 177 and
ETA 178 by the "Deutsche Bundesbahn") as well as the successor type ETA 179
were used. Furthermore, steam engines of the series 50, 52 and 64 could be found in
the years afterwards. In the 1950th and 1960th, the railcars ETA 150 and the
Diesel engines V100.20 appeared at the line Giesing-Aying.
The last ones survived here until the line was electrified in context of the
introduction of the Munich commuter railway system in 1972. Because not enough
electric railcars of the series 420 were available at this time and the railway
control centers were not adapted well timed for the complete line up to Kreuzstraße,
the end of the new commuter line, firstly push-pull trains are used between
Hohenbrunn and Kreuzstraße, which consisted of electric locomotive types 144 and
B3y coaches.
Occationally, one could meet at this line a sporadical V60 with a short freight
train to Neubiberg or the "glass train" 491, when making its very popular
excursions "Around Munich".
Today, the line is normally quite only driven by the new electric cummuter
railcars 423. The former standard commuter railcars of type 420 are today
completely disappeared from this line.
