(Thionville -) Apach (Moselle) SNCF - Perl DB (- Trier)
[E*] DB operates freight to Apach using dual-frequency electric locomotives. Regular passenger services terminate short of the border, SNCF at Apach and DB at Perl. A limited cross-border passenger service has operated at weekends since 10 June 2007, comprising two round trips from Metz to Trier, presumably operated by SNCF. From 15 June 2009 for up to a year, engineering work in the Nitteler Tunnel means that there will be no DB rail services to Perl, so these cross-border services will be amended.
(Bouzonville -) Guerstling SNCF - Niedaltdorf DB (- Dillingen (Saar))
[D] Freight only, but occasional special passenger trains operate: refer to FR110 and DE09/452. DB operates a passenger service between Dillingen (Saar) and Niedaltdorf.
(Bouzonville -) Hargarten-Falck SNCF - Überherrn DB (- Völklingen)
Line closed.
Reumaux HBL - Merlebach Nord HBL
[D] This line is part of the Houillères du Bassin de Lorraine system, a network serving the remaining mining industry in the area. The unadvertised passenger service over this line has ceased.
(Forbach -) Stiring-Wendel SNCF - Saarbrücken DB
[E*] DB ICE trains run between Frankfurt and Paris via this route, also night trains CNL450/451. SNCF diesel multiple-units are used on local trains. Most freight trains use DB dual-frequency electric locomotives.
Sarreguemines SNCF - Hanweiler-Bad Rilchingen DB (- Saarbrücken)
[E] Stadtbahn Saar GmbH works a light rapid transit system between Sarreguemines and Saarbrücken, using DB and SNCF tracks south from Brebach. The through workings between Strasbourg and Saarbrücken are operated by SNCF diesel multiple-units. The line between Sarreguemines and Saarbrücken is electrified at the German standard 15kV 16.7Hz.
Wissembourg SNCF - Schweighofen DB (- Winden (Pfalz))
[D] DB works to Wissembourg.
Lauterbourg SNCF - Berg DB (- Wörth (Rhein))
[D] DB works to Lauterbourg.
Roeschwoog SNCF - Wintersdorf DB (- Rastatt)
Line Closed.
Strasbourg SNCF - Kehl DB
[E*] DB works long-distance passenger trains and some local services to Strasbourg using dual-frequency locomotives. From 10 June 2007 daytime trains between Paris and München were replaced by SNCF TGVs between Paris and Stuttgart/München. Local trains between Strasbourg and Offenburg comprise diesel rail cars. Most are operated by Ortenau S-Bahn GmbH, but a few are worked by SNCF.
(Mulhouse -) Bantzenheim SNCF - Neuenburg (Baden) DB (- Müllheim (Baden))
[E*] Normally freight only. SNCF works to Neuenburg (Baden) using dual-frequency electric locomotives. On certain Sundays in summer and shortly before Christmas a special train service operates approximately every 2 hours between Mulhouse Ville and Müllheim (Baden). A full service is targeted for introduction in 2013. See FR118.
