"The Palatine Railways (German: Pfälzische Eisenbahnen), often abbreviated to Palatinate Railway (Pfalzbahn) was the name of the railway division and administration responsible for all private railway companies in the Bavarian Palatinate from 1844 to 1908. The railway division was first located in the provincial capital of Speyer and later relocated to Ludwigshafen am Rhein.
The company was inaugurated with the construction of the Palatine Ludwig Railway (Pfälzische Ludwigsbahn) by the eponymous railway company. On the completion of the Palatine Maximilian Railway (Pfälzische Maximiliansbahn) the operational headquarters and management of the Palatine Maximilian Railway Company was also incorporated. In 1862, it was joined by the Neustadt - Dürkheim Railway Company (Neustadt-Dürkheimer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft). The same happened to the Palatine Northern Railway Company (Gesellschaft der Pfälzischen Nordbahnen) in 1870." - (en.wikipedia.org 25.04.2024)
