HISTORY  OF THE  RAILWAY 
Rail from 1863



Immediately after the opening of the Rhine-Main Railway from Maine to Aschaffenburg by the Hessian Ludwig Railway Company in 1858, it was anxious to also own a connection to Frankfurt. Therefore, it built the new line from a branch off the Rhine-Main line at Bischofsheim along the left bank of the Main to Frankfurt. It thereby put itself into competition with the parallel Taunus Railway, which runs on the right bank of the Main. The concession for building and operating the line was awarded by Grand Duchy of Hesse on 15 August 1861 and by the senate of the Free City of Frankfurt on 17 January 1862.Immediately after the opening of the Rhine-Main Railway from Mainz to Aschaffenburg by the Hessian Ludwig Railway Company in 1858, it was anxious to also own a connection to Frankfurt.

I offered him $70 for it because this was how much I had saved up so far in order to buy one for myself. He said no because he could get more for it online. Fine. About a year later I was saving up for a new digital camera and he offers to sell me his because he got a new one for Christmas.
