Revision as of 12:07, 14 December 2014
Introduction
This list is based on the timetable in force from 14 December 2014 until 12 December 2015, 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 2016 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) DE15/501
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) DE15/502
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. Daytime expresses use the Schnellfahrstrecke, so the only passenger trains to use the main line, bypassing Eschwege, are overnight ones.

A: Runs via Kassel Monday to Friday nights
Bebra avoiding line: Ludwigsau-Friedlos (Abzw Blankenheim) – Ronshausen (Abzw Faßdorf)
[605, 610] (40B1, 67A2) DE15/503
This south to east curve enables trains between Fulda and Eisenach to avoid reversal at Bebra. It is used by trains (an ICE/IC service at least hourly) running non-stop between Fulda or Bad Hersfeld and Eisenach, plus:
| A | CNL458 | Dresden Hbf – 01:21 Erfurt Hbf – Zürich HB | |
| D1 | EN452 | Moskva Belorusskaya - 04:49 Frankfurt (Oder) - Paris Est | |
| A | CNL459 | Zürich HB – 00:54 Frankfurt(Main) Süd – Praha hl.n. | |
| D2 | EN453 | Paris Est - 17:26 Fulda - Moskva Belorusskaya |
A: Certain nights these trains include portions to and from Ostseebad Binz (CNL1250/CNL1251) or Berlin-Lichtenberg (CNL1258/CNL1259)
D1: Runs this way on 11, 12 and 15 May 2015 (previous day's departure from Moskva)
D2: Runs this way on 9, 12, 13 and 16 May 2015
Gießen avoiding line: Dutenhofen – Großen Linden (Gießen Bergwald Stw Gs)
[445, 630] (49B3, 65A4) DE15/504
This west to south curve enables trains to run between Wetzlar and Friedberg (Hess) without reversing at Gießen.
| SSuX | HLB24901 | Siegen – 05:47 Wetzlar – Frankfurt am Main Hbf | |
| SSuX | HLB24900 | Frankfurt am Main Hbf – 17:58 Bad Nauheim – Siegen |
Neuhof (Kr Fulda) (Fulda-Bronzell) – Fulda via Flyover
[615, 616] (51B3 not shown, 78C1) DE15/505
The flyover south of the station allows trains to run from the northbound line from Hanau into the low-numbered platforms at Fulda, without crossing the Schnellfahrstrecke on the level. It is used by RE trains from Frankfurt am Main, mostly hourly, terminating at Fulda, with the possible exceptions of RE4544 arriving at 19:27 and RE4532 at 22:50. The flyover is also used by:
| SSuX | RB15645 | Schlüchtern - 05:32 Neuhof (Kr Fulda) - Fulda | |
| SSuX | RB15653 | Bad Soden-Salmünster – 07:25 Neuhof (Kr Fulda) - Fulda |
Flieden – Sterbfritz (Elm Bbf)
(51A3, 78C1-78C2) DE15/506
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.

Wolfgang (Kr Hanau) – Hanau Hbf (via Abzw Rauschwald)
[615] (49B2, 153D2) DE13/508
This route enables trains to and from the Fulda line to use the south side platforms at Hanau Hbf.
| SSuX | RB15641 | Bad Soden-Salmünster – 07:23 Wolfgang (Kr Hanau) – Frankfurt am Main Hbf |
Hanau West (Weiche 403/404) – Hanau Hbf (Nordseite)
[640] (49B2, 153D2) DE13/507
Of the two spurs which link the Maintal line to Hanau Hbf Nordseite (Fulda line), the southerly one is for eastbound trains via platform 7 only. The other is reversible and links with platforms 2 to 7 and is used by ICE trains every two hours from Fulda 06:44 to 16:44 (not all daily) plus:

| CNL478 | Zürich HB - 01:10 Heidelberg Hbf - Hamburg-Altona | ||
| D | EN453 | Paris-Est - 16:15 Frankfurt am Main Süd - Moskva Belorusskaja |
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.

| SO | IC2317 | 07:00 Frankfurt am Main Hbf - Stuttgart Hbf |
Mainz-Bischofsheim (Abzw Kostheim Ost) – Mainz-Kastel (Abzw Kostheim)
[645.8-9, 651] DE15/518
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 DE15/517 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 DE15/517.
Kelsterbach – Frankfurt am Main Stadion (Abzw Frankfurt Schwanheim)
[471, 645.8] (50B2, 152C3-152D3) DE13/524
This is part of the original main line and is used by trains between Mainz Hbf and Frankfurt am Main Hbf, Frankfurt am Main Süd or Neu Isenburg which stop at neither of the stations at Frankfurt am Main Flughafen.

Frankfurt am Main Flughafen Regionalbahnhof – Frankfurt am Main Stadion (Abzw Frankfurt Schwanheim)
[471] (50B2, 151A4-151A3) DE15/519
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) DE15/520
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) DE15/521
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) DE15/522
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) DE15/523
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) DE15/524
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. The Darmstadt-Kranichstein railway museum sometimes runs a shuttle service between Groß-Gerau and Kranichstein during its annual Bahnwelttage event in May.
Arheilgen – Darmstadt-Nord
[641] (49B1, 154C2) DE15/525
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) DE15/526
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 does not 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) DE15/527
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 DE15/525). For details of future events, see the museum website.
