Germany (Bayern) - Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services

@@@@ NOTE: copied from old site with minimal editing @@@@

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 13 December 2009 to 11 December 2010, 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

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.

Nürnberg-Dutzendteich – Nürnberg-Eibach (Abzw Muster) (via Nürnberg Rbf)

[900] (65B3, 162B3-162B4) DE09/654

This is the eastern part of the Nürnberg ring line, which is used by the following trains to avoid reversal at Nürnberg Hbf:

D	MO	IC1518	München Hbf – 01:32 Treuchtlingen – Leipzig Hbf
D	MO	IC1576	München Hbf – 02:46 Treuchtlingen – Berlin-Gesundbrunnen

Hersbruck (rechts Pegnitz) – Pommelsbrunn

[890.1] (60A3, 90A3) DE09/655

This spur links the lines leading east from Nürnberg on each bank of the Pegnitz. It is used by trains between Nürnberg Hbf and Neukirchen (b Sulzbach-Rosenberg) that call at Hersbruck (rechts Pegnitz) or are non-stop. Principal use is by the hourly RE service between Nürnberg, Schwandorf and Neustadt (Waldnaab).

Trebgast (Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg Süd) – Marktschorgast (Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg Ost) (Schlömener Kurve)

[860] (53A2 not shown, 81B3) DE09/656

This south to north curve, opened in 2001, connects the Bayreuth and Hof lines, avoiding Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg. It is used by IRE trains between Nürnberg and Chemnitz or Dresden via Bayreuth. These mostly run every two hours (four hours at weekends).

Dombühl - Feuchtwangen [- Dinkelsbühl - Nördlingen]

(59A2, 96B1-2) DE09/657

This is the northern end of the line used in summer by Bayerisches Eisenbahn Museum (BEM) tourist steam trains between Nördlingen and Feuchtwangen. In conjunction with the Dinkelsbühler Weihnachtsmarkt a service of shuttle trains between Dombühl and Dinkelsbühl operated on the Saturdays and Sundays of four weekends immediately prior to Christmas 2008. It is not known whether this will become an annual feature so readers should consult the BEM website next autumn.

Ingolstadt Hbf – Weichering and Schrobenhausen (Seehof Bbf)

[983,993] (60A1 not shown, 97D4) DE09/658

The lines to Ingolstadt from Augsburg and from Donauwörth join at Seehof Bbf and then split into two independent single tracks forming a flying junction with the main line from München. Crossovers south of Ingolstadt Hbf mean that all platforms are accessible from both routes, but the branch trains do not normally cross the main line on the flat. Trains to platforms 5, 6 and 7, on the east side of Ingolstadt Hbf use the flyover, but those to platforms 1, 2 and 2a on the west side do not. The hourly trains to and from Augsburg mostly use platforms 1, 2 and 2a, and the direct spur from Seehof Bbf. Most trains to and from Donauwörth use the flyover and platforms 5, 6 and 7. Exceptions are:

• Augsburg line arrivals: 06:19 SSuX, 07:54 SSuX, 14:48 SSuX, 16:48 SSuX & 18:48 SSuX
• Augsburg line departures: 05:29 SSuX, 06:30 SSuX, 08:14, 15:11 SSuX, 17:11 SSuX & 19:11 SSuX
• Donauwörth line arrivals: 05:50 SSuX, 07:55 SSuO & 14:37 SSuX
• Donauwörth line departures: 06:04 SSuX, 06:23 SSuX, 07:02 SSuX, 13:25 SSuX & 21:07 SSuX

Augsburg-Oberhausen – Neusäß (Augsburg-Hirblinger Straße)

[980] (70B3, 163C3) DE09/659

There are two routes, that from the east side of (and flying over) the Donauwörth line being used by most trains. The other, from the west side of the Donauwörth line, is used by trains between the Ulm line and platforms 7, 8 or 9 at Augsburg Hbf. These are all local trains, timed at Augsburg Hbf thus:

• Arrivals: 04:58 SSuX, 05:31, 06:16 SSuX, 06:28, 07:00 SSuX, 07:17 SSuX, 07:52 SSuX, 08:02 SSuX, 08:15 SSuX, 08:50 SSuX, 10:33, 11:02 SSuX, 11:33, 12:02 SSuX, 13:33, 16:50 SSuX, 17:33, 17:52 SSuX, 18:50 SSuX, 19:33, 20:02 SSuX, 20:33, 21:33, 22:33 & 23:33
• Departures: 05:25, 05:44 SSuX, 07:25, 08:25, 10:52 SSuX, 11:25, 11:52 SSuX, 12:25, 13:05 SSuX, 13:52 SSuX, 16:05 SSuX, 16:39 SSuX, 17:05 SSuX, 17:39 SSuX, 18:05 SSuX, 18:39 SSuX, 19:52 SSuX, 20:25, 20:52 SSuX, 21:25, 21:52, 22:52 & 23:53

Leienfelsstrasse (Abzw. Pasing West) – München Hbf (Abzw München Kanal) (via Pasing and Abzw Pasing Nord)

[970] (66A2, 164B3-164D3) DE09/660

The normal route for trains between Buchloe and München Hbf is by a flyover over the Gauting (S6) S-Bahn tracks west of Pasing, through platforms 1 to 3 there and thence to the northern side platforms at Hauptbahnhof by the Fernbahn line (from Starnberg). EC trains between München and Zürich via Lindau normally use an alternative route. From Abzw Pasing West this dives under S-Bahn tracks from Nannhofen (S8) and the Augsburg main line, passes north of Pasing station and joins the Ingolstadt main line at Abzw Kanal. Trains from München Hbf may, instead, follow the Augsburg main line to München-Pasing and join the dive-under route to Abzw Pasing West there.

München-Pasing (Abzw Landsberger Straße) – München Ost (München Süd) (via Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke)

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE09/661

Most trains from the Augsburg direction not calling at the Hauptbahnhof follow the main line from München-Pasing as it dives below the S-Bahn and Starnberg tracks. They branch south on to the avoiding line at Abzw Landsberger Straße and continue via Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke to join the main line from München Hbf to München Ost at München Süd.

München-Pasing – München-Ost (München Süd) (via Laim Rbf and Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke)

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE09/662

As an alternative to DE09/661, trains from Augsburg may branch north at München-Pasing, cross over the Ingolstadt and Landshut lines, pass München-Laim Rbf and (east of Laim S-Bahn station) cross under the lines serving München Hbf to join route DE08/660 at Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke.

München-Pasing (Abzw Landsberger Straße) – München-Mittersendling (via Laim Rbf and Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke)

(66A2, 164B3-166D4) DE09/663

This route is the same as DE09/662 between München-Pasing and Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke, and then includes the curve to München-Mittersendling, which is also used by S-Bahn service S20. The following trains run to and from Rosenheim via Holzkirchen.

H	SO	CNL13374	Bolzano-Bozen – 20:50 Wörgl – Aarhus H
H	SO	AZ13325	21:01 Düsseldorf Hbf – Bolzano-Bozen

München-Obermenzing – München Ost (München Süd) (via Laim Rbf and Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke)

66A2, 164C3-165A4) DE09/664

Trains can also run between the Ingolstadt line and München Ost, avoiding the Hauptbahnhof. These use a new line from München-Obermenzing to Laim Rbf, whence the route is common with DE09/661 via Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke to München Süd. Reconstruction of the railway between München and Petershausen included removal of the former connection between München-Allach and Laim Rbf.

There are connections to the Ingolstadt and Landshut lines, and to the main station at München Ost. The section between München-Johanneskirchen and München-Daglfing is used by S-Bahn trains on route S8, but otherwise very little use is made of this line by passenger services.
