Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 11 December 2016 to 9 December 2017, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained in General Information. Map references relate to the 2014 issue of the Schweers+Wall Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland.

Reconstruction of Halle (Saale) Hbf and lines in the vicinity is causing significant alterations to train services. The following details reflect planned changes, as far as possible. However, users should be aware that there could be further variations, including to planned diversions, as work progresses.

Obscure services

Halle (Saale) Hbf - Halle Rosengarten (Abzw Halle-Kasseler Bahn)

[501.7, 590] (130B1-130B2) DE17/205

Goods lines from Halle (Saale) Gbf run to the east of the main line to Merseburg and cross over it to join the main line to Nordhausen at Abzw Halle-Kasseler Bahn. This route is being used by S-Bahn services to and from Halle-Nietleben while station reconstruction is under way.

Halle-Angersdorf - Merseburg Hbf

[580] (130A2-130B3) DE17/206

The railway between Halle and Merseburg was completely blocked for engineering work from 26 March until 20 May 2017. During this period RB trains, generally hourly, were diverted via Halle-Angersdorf and Buna Werke. Long-distance trains not routed via the Schnellfahrstrecke to and from Erfurt were diverted via Nordhausen.

Sandersleben: connections at north and south ends of station

[330, 335] (57A1) DE17/207

The Halberstadt to Halle and Magdeburg to Sangerhausen lines run parallel through Sandersleben. They use different platforms and normally operate independently, but there are connections between the two lines north and south of the station. Both connections are used by just one train in the current timetable to facilitate a passing movement. Click on the thumbnail for a full size diagram

Stiege Loop (HSB)

[333] (56B1) DE17/208

A balloon loop at Stiege enables trains to run between the Alexisbad and Eisfelder Talmühle lines without reversing. Passenger trains sometimes traverse this loop but there have been regular occurrences of locomotives running round the loop 'light engine' and of railcar drivers changing ends.
