Obscure services

Burgsinn Bbf Schnellfahrstrecke connection

[351, 800.1, F11] (51B2, 78C3) DE09/651

There are north- and south-facing connections from the Schnellfahrstrecke to the old main line at Burgsinn Bbf. The southern connection is used by day trains running non-stop between Fulda and Gemünden (Main), but calling at the latter.

	SO	IC1887	Hamburg-Altona – 10:28 Fulda – Passau Hbf
	SuO	IC2350	Stralsund – 23:07 Fulda – Würzburg Hbf
	SO	IC1886	Passau Hbf – 14:47 Gemünden (Main) – Hamburg-Altona

Gemünden (Main) (Wernfeld) – Waigolshausen

[800, 810] (51B1-51B2, 78A4-79B4) DE09/652

This line, which is about 35 km long, provides a more direct route between Gemünden (Main) and Schweinfurt than the main line via Würzburg or the branch lines via Bad Kissingen. It is likely to be used by excursions, particularly steam trains, between the Frankfurt area and Meiningen or Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg, because it is a suitable place for photographic stops and run-pasts.

E	SSuO	RE34671	Aschaffenburg Hbf – 09:06 Gemünden (Main ) – Bamberg
E	SSuO	RE34672	Bamberg – 18:20 Schweinfurt Hbf – Aschaffenburg Hbf

Fürth (Bay) Hbf – Nürnberg-Eibach (Abzw Muster)

[N25] (65B3, 162B3-162B4) DE09/653

This is part of the Nürnberg ring line, which is used by passenger trains between Fürth and Treuchtlingen if not calling (and reversing) at Nürnberg Hbf. Trains are diverted via Fulda and Erfurt and do not use this route from 1 August until 14 September 2009. This is because the line between Forchheim and Bamberg is closed for engineering work.
