Introduction

This list is based on the timetable in force from 13 December 2015 until 10 December 2016, 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

Niedaltdorf – Bouzonville (France)

(55B3 not shown, 83B4) DE16/451

This entry duplicates FR557. This line has no regular service but special shuttle services have operated for a number of years from Dillingen in conjunction with the Good Friday market at Bouzonville. However, freight traffic is reported to have ceased on this line, which may therefore close completely. Check the DB online timetables or enquire at DB, Dillingen in the weeks before Good Friday.

Merzig – Merzig Ost

(55B3, 83B3) DE16/452

MECL Eisenbahnfreunde eV operate occasional trains over this connecting line between DB and the Merzig–Büschfelder Eisenbahn, usually for their Bahnhofsfest at the beginning of August. See Museums-Eisenbahn-Club-Losheim.

Merchweiler (Abzw Wemmetsweiler Kurve) – Wemmetsweiler Rathaus

[681] (56A3, 157B1) DE16/453

Most trains passing through Merchweiler run directly between Saarbrücken Hbf and Lebach-Jabach via the Wemmetsweiler curve. However a few run between Saarbrücken Hbf and Wemmetsweiler Rathaus, thereby using the above route. These run Mondays to Fridays (unless shown otherwise):

  • From Merchweiler: 01:26 (every night), 06:57, 08:51, 13:51, 17:51
  • From Wemmetsweiler Rathaus: 06:54, 07:34, 10:03, 15:03, 19:03

Saarbrücken Hbf – Jägersfreude (Saarbrücken Hbf Srg)

[680] (56A3 not shown, 1573A) DE16/454

There are two reversible single tracks between Saarbrücken Hbf and the line via Sulzbach. One runs via a dive-under below the line from Saarbrücken Ost and the other runs direct. The dive-under line can be used only to access platforms 1 and 3 at Saarbrücken Hbf, but is used by most trains. The direct route, to the north side of the station, is used principally by the Monday to Saturday RB trains hourly between Saarbrücken Hbf and St Wendel (except the departure at 07:05), which mostly use platforms 16 or 16a. Other departures from Saarbrücken Hbf via the direct route are at 05:46, 12:35, 14:35, 17:35, 18:35, 20:35 and hourly to 23:35.
