Routes are ordered geographically. In the Frankfurt area, routes in and out of the Hauptbahnhof are considered first and then the various avoiding lines.  In both cases, routes are ordered clockwise round the city, from Frankfurt am Main Süd to Frankfurt am Main West.

In May or June each year a town in Hessen hosts the ''Hessentag'' festival, which lasts about a week.  Special trains are often run to the ''Hessentag'' site, which is different each year. In 1997 and 2001 this resulted in temporary passenger services being provided over freight lines.  Events until 2014 are all at locations with regular passenger services, but with the possibility of trains via route DE11/504 to Wetzlar in 2012.

Since the reopening of Eschwege Stadtbahnhof in 2009, all local trains between Eichenberg and Bebra reverse there, leaving and returning to the main line in a triangular junction at Eschwege West. The N-S leg of the triangle is therefore not used by local trains.

===Neuhof (Kr Fulda) (Fulda-Bronzell) – Fulda===
D1: 8 May 2013 only
[615, 616] (51B3 not shown, <em>78C1</em>) DE11/505


The flyover south of Fulda is used by most local trains from the Hanau line, which terminate in platform 1 at Fulda, on the west side of the station, and also, Monday to Friday, by the arrival from Gersfeld (Rhön) at 05:32 and the departure at 05:49.
===Neuhof (Kr Fulda) (Fulda-Bronzell) – Fulda via Flyover===
[615, 616] (51B3 not shown, <em>78C1</em>) DE13/505
 
The flyover south of Fulda provides a non-conflicting connection between the northbound line from Hanau and the southbound line further north. It has been used in the past by local trains from the Hanau and Gersfeld (Rhön) lines terminating in platform 1 at Fulda. No such trains have been found using platform 1 in the current timetable, although use of other low numbered platforms might involve the flyover. The compilers would appreciate any information on trains using this route.

This is part of the former main line between München and Hamburg, but daytime expresses all use the ''Schnellfahrstrecke'' and diversion of Gemünden local trains to Schlüchtern, instead of Fulda, has left the route with passenger trains only during the night. Some [[Germany_-_DB_AutoZ%C3%BCge|''AutoZüge'']] between Hamburg and Italy use this route.

===Frankfurt am Main Hbf===
===Frankfurt am Main Hbf===
Trains between Frankfurt am Main Hbf and Frankfurt am Main Stadion, Neu Isenburg or Frankfurt am Main Süd may use two routes over the River Main, crossing the Niederrader Brücke or the Main Neckar Brücke. The line over the Main Neckar Brücke gives access to platforms in the centre of the Hauptbahnhof. The line over the Niederrader Brücke gives access to the low-numbered platforms on the south side (via Abzw Gutleuthof), the high-numbered ones on the north side of the Hauptbahnhof and the ''S-Bahn'' underground station. The Main Neckar Brücke gives access to the middle platforms. Several platforms are accessible from both bridges.
Trains between Frankfurt am Main Hbf and Frankfurt am Main Stadion, Neu Isenburg or Frankfurt am Main Süd may use two routes over the River Main, crossing the Niederrader Brücke or the Main-Neckar-Brücke. The line over the Niederrader Brücke gives access to platforms 1a through 8 on the south side (via Abzw Gutleuthof), platforms 15 through 24 on the north side of the Hauptbahnhof and the ''S-Bahn'' underground station. The Main-Neckar-Brücke gives access to platforms 4 through 13. Platforms 4 through 8 are accessible from both bridges.


Trains via Frankfurt am Main Süd and Neu Isenburg mainly use Main Neckar Brücke and those via Frankfurt am Main Stadion mainly use Niederrader Brücke. Journey time between Frankfurt am Main Stadion and the Hauptbahnhof is only slightly longer via Main Neckar Brücke than via Niederrader Brücke. However, there is a significant difference between Frankfurt am Main Süd and the Hauptbahnhof, with trains via Niederrader Brücke being scheduled at least 10 minutes, rather than 6 or 7 minutes for the Main Neckar Brücke route.

[645.8-9, 651] DE13/523
 
This connection across the Main splits in two parts at Abzw Kostheim Ost just north of the river. The two main tracks fly over the Höchst line and turn west to touch it briefly (Abzw Kostheim) before turning north to become DE13/522 towards the Kaiserbrücke. There is also a single-track south-to-west curve that avoids the flyover and joins the Höchst line from the south at Abzw Kostheim.
 
The single-tracked curve is used by used by trains from Mainz-Kastel '''''to''''' Bischofsheim, but all trains '''''from''''' Bischofsheim use the main track until Abzw Kostheim.
 
The eastbound main track from Abzw Kostheim to Abzw Kostheim Ost is only used by trains coming from DE13/522.

Most trains between Frankfurt am Main Stadion and Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof use the flyover over the main line from Kelsterbach. Trains, other than ''S-Bahn'', from the airport to the main station at Frankfurt am Main Hbf or via Abzw Forsthaus are likely to use this connection directly onto the main line. These include all ''RE'' trains from Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof to Frankfurt am Main Hbf.

''IC'' and ''EC'' trains between Mainz and Mannheim (not calling at Frankfurt am Main Flughafen) normally run via Worms, but diversions via Groß Gerau and Groß Gerau-Dornberg do occur. Relief ''IC'' trains may also use this west to south curve. It is possible to tell from the route indicator on the departure signal at Mannheim Hbf if a fast train to Mainz is to be diverted via Groß Gerau: 'W' indicates that the train will run via Mannheim-Waldhof and must, therefore, use the Groß Gerau curve to reach Mainz. ''IC/EC'' trains normally via Worms are diverted via Groß Gerau from 14 March until 23 August 2009.

Darmstadt Hbf is connected to the line towards Mainz by three geographically separate tracks, of which two technically constitute a widely separated double track flying junction and the third is reversible.
 
The Darmstadt -> Mainz track (line 3537) diverges from the main track towards Frankfurt (line 3605) north of Darmstadt Hbf, at about the the place where it passes over the Aschaffenburg – Mainz line. It then makes a 135° curve to the left and joins the Aschaffenburg – Mainz line from the north at Abzw Stockschneise. The Mainz -> Darmstadt track (line 3530) diverges to the south at Abzw Stockschneise directly to the Hauptbahnhof, where it eventually becomes platform 9.
 
'''''Between''''' these two tracks, there is a reversible track which splits from the Mainz - Aschaffenburg line on the flat at Abzw Bergschneise, 1 km east of Abzw Stockschneise. At Darmstadt Hbf it arrives between the tracks from/to Darmstadt Nord, which eventually become platforms 7 and 8.


There are two routes from Darmstadt Hbf to the line to Mainz via Weiterstadt. Most trains use the shorter route, joining the line from Darmstadt Nord at Darmstadt Bergschneise. The alternative, via a flyover crossing the Darmstadt Nord line and joining it at Weiterstadt Stockschneise, may be used by trains from platform 6 at Darmstadt Hbf, subject to there being no departure to Frankfurt am Main at about the same time. If the route is set from platform 6 via the diamond crossover at its north end, the train will be using the shorter route. Confirmation of use of the longer route will be welcome.
Trains '''''from''''' Mainz use line 3530. Trains '''''towards''''' Mainz from platforms 6 and 7 can use either the reversible track to Abzw Bergschneise or line 3537. The latter route is longer but allows higher speeds; nevertheless the shorter Bergschneise route is usually used because it doesn't conflict with use of line 3605 to Frankfurt. Which route is used can be seen from the position of the scissors crossover points just north of the platforms – left for the Bergschneise route, right for the Stockschneise route. '''The compilers would welcome any confirmation of use of the latter route.'''

A shuttle service may operate between Darmstadt Hbf and Darmstadt-Kranichstein in connection with special events at the Darmstadt-Kranichstein railway museum. These trains normally use a completely different route from normal passenger services, which operate to and from platforms on the west side of Darmstadt Hbf. The shuttles use platform 1, on the east side of the Hauptbahnhof, and the goods line via Darmstadt Nord. For details of future events, see [http://www.museumsbahn.de the museum website].

Revision as of 18:13, 25 March 2013

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable in force until 14 December 2013, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information.

In the heading to each entry the map reference for the line in the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahn Atlas (2007/2008 edition) is shown, in italic, in addition to the reference to M.G. Ball's European Railway Atlas.

Obscure services

Routes are ordered geographically. In the Frankfurt area, routes in and out of the Hauptbahnhof are considered first and then the various avoiding lines. In both cases, routes are ordered clockwise round the city, from Frankfurt am Main Süd to Frankfurt am Main West. In May or June each year a town in Hessen hosts the Hessentag festival, which lasts about a week. Special trains are often run to the Hessentag site, which is different each year. In 1997 and 2001 this resulted in temporary passenger services being provided over freight lines. Events until 2014 are all at locations with regular passenger services.

Eichenberg avoiding line: Friedland (Han) (Abzw Eichenberg Nordkopf) – Arenshausen (Abzw Eichenberg Ostkopf)

[540.1, 600] (40B2 not shown, 55B3) DE13/501

This north to east curve links the Göttingen and Nordhausen lines and is used by through trains between Göttingen and Leinefelde (generally every two hours).

Bad Sooden-Allendorf (Abzw Eschwege-Wehre) – Wehretal-Reichensachsen (Abzw Eschwege-Stegmühle)

[613] (40B2 not shown, 55B4) DE13/502

Since the reopening of Eschwege Stadtbahnhof in 2009, all local trains between Eichenberg and Bebra reverse there, leaving and returning to the main line in a triangular junction at Eschwege West. The N-S leg of the triangle is therefore not used by local trains.

It is used by most AutoZüge between Hamburg-Altona and the south, as well as by:

Neuhof (Kr Fulda) (Fulda-Bronzell) – Fulda via Flyover

[615, 616] (51B3 not shown, 78C1) DE13/505

The flyover south of Fulda provides a non-conflicting connection between the northbound line from Hanau and the southbound line further north. It has been used in the past by local trains from the Hanau and Gersfeld (Rhön) lines terminating in platform 1 at Fulda. No such trains have been found using platform 1 in the current timetable, although use of other low numbered platforms might involve the flyover. The compilers would appreciate any information on trains using this route.

Flieden – Sterbfritz (Elm Bbf)

(51A3, 78C1-78C2) DE13/506

This is part of the former main line between München and Hamburg. Daytime expresses now use the Schnellfahrstrecke and diversion of Gemünden local trains to Schlüchtern, instead of Fulda, has left the route with passenger trains only during the night.

Frankfurt am Main Hbf

Trains between Frankfurt am Main Hbf and Frankfurt am Main Stadion, Neu Isenburg or Frankfurt am Main Süd may use two routes over the River Main, crossing the Niederrader Brücke or the Main-Neckar-Brücke. The line over the Niederrader Brücke gives access to platforms 1a through 8 on the south side (via Abzw Gutleuthof), platforms 15 through 24 on the north side of the Hauptbahnhof and the S-Bahn underground station. The Main-Neckar-Brücke gives access to platforms 4 through 13. Platforms 4 through 8 are accessible from both bridges.

Trains via Frankfurt am Main Süd and Neu Isenburg mainly use the Main-Neckar-Brücke and those via Frankfurt am Main Stadion mainly the Niederrader Brücke. Journey time between Frankfurt am Main Stadion and the Hauptbahnhof is only slightly longer via Main-Neckar-Brücke than via Niederrader Brücke. However, there is a significant difference between Frankfurt am Main Süd and the Hauptbahnhof, with trains via Niederrader Brücke being scheduled at least 10 minutes, rather than 6 or 7 minutes for the Main-Neckar-Brücke route.

Many long-distance trains reverse at Frankfurt and, in the lists below, trains using a route inward are shown before those using it outward.

Mainz-Bischofsheim (Abzw Kostheim Ost) – Mainz-Kastel (Abzw Kostheim)

[645.8-9, 651] DE13/523

This connection across the Main splits in two parts at Abzw Kostheim Ost just north of the river. The two main tracks fly over the Höchst line and turn west to touch it briefly (Abzw Kostheim) before turning north to become DE13/522 towards the Kaiserbrücke. There is also a single-track south-to-west curve that avoids the flyover and joins the Höchst line from the south at Abzw Kostheim.

The single-tracked curve is used by used by trains from Mainz-Kastel to Bischofsheim, but all trains from Bischofsheim use the main track until Abzw Kostheim.

The eastbound main track from Abzw Kostheim to Abzw Kostheim Ost is only used by trains coming from DE13/522.

Kelsterbach – Frankfurt am Main Stadion (Abzw Frankfurt Schwanheim)

[471, 645.8] (50B2, 152C3-152D3) DE13/524

Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof – Frankfurt am Main Stadion (Abzw Frankfurt Schwanheim)

[471] (50B2, 151A4-151A3) DE13/525

Most trains between Frankfurt am Main Stadion and Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof use the flyover over the main line from Kelsterbach. Trains, other than S-Bahn, from the airport to the main station at Frankfurt am Main Hbf or via Abzw Forsthaus are likely to use this connection directly onto the main line. These include all RE trains from Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof to Frankfurt am Main Hbf.

Raunheim (Abzw Mönchwald) – Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf (Abzw Mönchhof)

[471] (50B2, 152B4) DE13/526

This spur connects the old main line from Mainz Hbf to the Schnellfahrstrecke from Köln. It is used by trains calling at both Mainz Hbf and Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf. There is an hourly IC/ICE service.

Limburg Süd (Raunheim Caltex) – Kelsterbach (Raunheim Brunnenschneise)

(50B2, 152B3) DE13/527

This north to east curve connects the Schnellfahrstrecke from Köln to the old main line via Kelsterbach. No passenger trains are currently scheduled to use it.

Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf – Zeppelinheim

[655] (50B2, 152D3) DE13/528

This south to west curve is from Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf to the line to Mannheim via Biblis. It is used by trains running direct between Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf and Mannheim. These are principally hourly ICE trains between Köln and Basel or München and two-hourly ICE trains between Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart (which reverse at Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Fernbf). The Fernbahnhof (and associated AlRail Terminal) are closed from 00:30 to 05:00, during which period all trains use the Regionalbahnhof.

Groß Gerau – Groß Gerau-Dornberg

[660] (49B1, 154A2) DE13/529

IC and EC trains between Mainz and Mannheim (not calling at Frankfurt am Main Flughafen) normally run via Worms, but diversions via Groß Gerau and Groß Gerau-Dornberg do occur. Relief IC trains may also use this west to south curve. It is possible to tell from the route indicator on the departure signal at Mannheim Hbf if a fast train to Mainz is to be diverted via Groß Gerau: 'W' indicates that the train will run via Mannheim-Waldhof and must, therefore, use the Groß Gerau curve to reach Mainz.

Weiterstadt (Abzw Darmstadt Stockschneise) – Darmstadt Nord – Darmstadt-Kranichstein

(49B1, 154C2) DE13/530

This west to east route connects the Mainz and Aschaffenburg lines north of Darmstadt Hbf. Between Darmstadt Nord and Darmstadt-Kranichstein it has its own alignment, different from the one used by local passenger trains.

E: 6 June to 29 August only.

The Darmstadt-Kranichstein railway museum state at their website that a shuttle service between Groß-Gerau and Kranichstein, most likely using this route, will operate during the Bahnwelttage event 9–12 May 2013. Exact timings are not yet available.

Arheilgen – Darmstadt-Nord

[641] (49B1, 154C2) DE13/531

This north to east curve connects the Frankfurt am Main and Aschaffenburg lines north of Darmstadt Hbf. It is used by through trains between Groß-Umstadt Wiebelsbach and Frankfurt am Main Hbf via Darmstadt Nord, generally every two hours.

Darmstadt Hbf – Weiterstadt (Abzw Darmstadt Bergschneise and Abzw Weiterstadt Stockschneise)

[651] (49B1, 154C2) DE13/532

Darmstadt Hbf is connected to the line towards Mainz by three geographically separate tracks, of which two technically constitute a widely separated double track flying junction and the third is reversible.

The Darmstadt -> Mainz track (line 3537) diverges from the main track towards Frankfurt (line 3605) north of Darmstadt Hbf, at about the the place where it passes over the Aschaffenburg – Mainz line. It then makes a 135° curve to the left and joins the Aschaffenburg – Mainz line from the north at Abzw Stockschneise. The Mainz -> Darmstadt track (line 3530) diverges to the south at Abzw Stockschneise directly to the Hauptbahnhof, where it eventually becomes platform 9.

Between these two tracks, there is a reversible track which splits from the Mainz - Aschaffenburg line on the flat at Abzw Bergschneise, 1 km east of Abzw Stockschneise. At Darmstadt Hbf it arrives between the tracks from/to Darmstadt Nord, which eventually become platforms 7 and 8.

Trains from Mainz use line 3530. Trains towards Mainz from platforms 6 and 7 can use either the reversible track to Abzw Bergschneise or line 3537. The latter route is longer but allows higher speeds; nevertheless the shorter Bergschneise route is usually used because it doesn't conflict with use of line 3605 to Frankfurt. Which route is used can be seen from the position of the scissors crossover points just north of the platforms – left for the Bergschneise route, right for the Stockschneise route. The compilers would welcome any confirmation of use of the latter route.

Darmstadt Hbf – Darmstadt-Kranichstein

(49B1, 154C2) DE13/533

A shuttle service may operate between Darmstadt Hbf and Darmstadt-Kranichstein in connection with special events at the Darmstadt-Kranichstein railway museum. These trains normally use a completely different route from normal passenger services, which operate to and from platforms on the west side of Darmstadt Hbf. The shuttles use platform 1, on the east side of the Hauptbahnhof, and the goods line via Darmstadt Nord (including part of DE13/531). For details of future events, see the museum website.
