Obscure services

(Fulda –) Burgsinn Bbf – Abzw. Rieneck Sinnberg (– Gemünden (Main)

[800.1] (51B2, 78C3) DE14/651

There are north- and south-facing connections from the Fulda – Würzburg Schnellfahrstrecke at Burgsinn Bbf to the old main line. This is the southerly connection, used by day trains running between Fulda and Gemünden (Main).

SO IC1987 Hamburg-Altona – 12:32 Fulda – Passau Hbf
SO IC1986 Passau Hbf – 14:47 Gemünden (Main) – Hamburg-Altona
MThSuO EN453 Paris Est – – Moskva Belorusskaja

Gemünden (Main) (Wernfeld) – Waigolshausen

[800, 810] (51B1-51B2, 78A4-79B4) DE14/652

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 RE58331 Aschaffenburg Hbf – 09:06 Gemünden (Main ) – Bamberg
E SSuO RE58332 Bamberg – 18:21 Schweinfurt Hbf – Aschaffenburg Hbf

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

(65B3, 162B3-162B4) DE14/653

This is part of the Nürnberg ring line. The following AutoZug service runs via this route between Fürth (Bay) and Treuchtlingen in order to avoid reversing at Nürnberg Hbf.

E WO AZ13387 Hamburg Altona – 16:55/17:09 Hildesheim Hbf – Bolzano AA

Hersbruck (rechts Pegnitz) – Pommelsbrunn

[820] (60A3, 90A3) DE14/654

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 RE services between Nürnberg, Schwandorf and Neustadt (Waldnaab).

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

[860] (53A2 not shown, 81B3) DE14/655

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

Feuchtwangen - Dombühl

(59A2, 96B1) DE14/656

The Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum Nördlingen operates regular, if occasional, trains over the Nördlingen - Dinkelsbühl - Feuchtwangen line. However the section northwards to Dombühl has in recent years seen trains only for the Dinkelsbühler Weihnachtsmarkt (Dinkelsbühl Christmas market) on Sundays in Advent. These services tend to be advertised only at relatively short notice. They may be advertised on the home page but users should also click on the "Termine" tab on the left of the page.

Ingolstadt Hbf – Weichering and Schrobenhausen (Seehof Bbf)

[983,993] (60A1 not shown, 97D4) DE14/657

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. Trains to and from Donauwörth depart from both sets of platforms. Booked departure platforms can be ascertained from the DB Hafas journey planner (see General Information).

Augsburg-Oberhausen – Neusäß (Augsburg-Hirblinger Straße)

[980] (70B3, 163C3) DE14/658

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.

Leienfelsstrasse (Abzw. Pasing West) – Abzw. Pasing Nord – München Hbf (Abzw München Kanal) (via the Abstellbahn line)

[970] (66A2, 164B3-164D3) DE14/659

The normal route for trains between Buchloe and München Hbf is by a flyover over the Starnberg line S-Bahn tracks (S8) west of Pasing, through platforms 1 to 3 there and thence to the north side platforms at Hauptbahnhof via the Fernbahn line from Starnberg (line 5504). The following EC trains between München and Zürich via Lindau are booked to use an alternative route. From Abzw. Pasing West this dives under the Augsburg line, passes north of Pasing station and joins the Ingolstadt main line at Abzw. Kanal.

EC193 Zürich HB - 12:43 Buchloe - München Hbf
D EC1293 Zürich HB - 15:03 Buchloe - München Hbf

EC190 18.33 München Hbf - Zürich HB
D FO IC2017 Hannover Hbf - 20:47 Augsburg Hbf - München Hbf

Note that IC2017 uses the connection from the Augsburg line at Abzw. Pasing Nord and hence does not cover the section between Abzw. Pasing West and Abzw. Pasing Nord

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

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE14/660

Most trains from the Augsburg direction not calling at München Hbf follow the main line from München-Pasing as it dives under 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.

D1: 29 March - 5 April only

Note that line S20 services (peak hour trains between München-Pasing and Höllriegelskreuth) use line 5521 from Pasing and then run parallel to this route as far as München-Heimeranplatz before branching off to join the Holzkirchen line at München-Mittersendling.

Until 30 June 2014 all line S8 services between München-Pasing and München Ost are diverted from Pasing via line 5521 to Abzw. Landsberger Straße to join this route. On weekdays (except 19-20 and 29-30 April) S8 services from Pasing between 22:48 and 01:28 and from München Ost between 22:34 and 01:37 are also diverted.

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

[980] (66A2, 164B3-165A4) DE14/661

As an alternative to DE14/660, 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 DE14/660 at Abzw Friedenheimer Brücke. Some AutoZüge to and from München Ost or Austria use this route.

München Nordring: Olching – Rbf München Nord – München-Johanneskirchen and München-Daglfing – Gronsdorf (Abzw. München-Waldtrudering)

(66A2-66B3, 166B2-167B3) DE14/662

This line runs round the north and east sides of München from Olching (on the Augsburg line) to Abzw München-Waldtrudering, east of Trudering on the Rosenheim line. There are connections from the Ingolstadt line at the west end of Rbf München Nord, to the Landshut line east of Rbf München Nord and from München-Daglfing towards München Ost. The section between München-Johanneskirchen and München-Daglfing is used by S-Bahn trains on route S8, but otherwise no use is made of this line by passenger services, except for:

The Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum usually runs Nikolausfahrten rund um München in December, although none are yet advertised for 2014. These run via the Nording and in past years have usually been routed via München-Moosach.

Rosenheim avoiding line: Bad Endorf (Abzw Rosenheim Ost) – Pfraundorf (Inn) (Abzw Rosenheim Süd)

[ÖBB 300] (71A2, 112A) DE14/663

This east to south curve linking the Salzburg and Wörgl lines provides a through route between Salzburg and Kufstein for Austrian Korridorzüge, which run non-stop through Germany. They are not included in the DB Kursbuch, but are those shown in the ÖBB Fahrpläne (table 300) calling at both Kufstein and Salzburg Hbf.

Prien Bahnhof – Stock Hafen

(Chiemsee-Schifffahrt Ludwig Feßler) (72A2, 116D1) DE14/664

Trains operate over this line during the summer in connection with cruises on the Chiemsee. There is a weekend service in May and daily thereafter. For further information see www.chiemsee-schifffahrt.de.

Rosenheim – Rohrdorf(Oberbay)

(116C1-C2, 60C2) DE14/665

For the past three years a train marketed as the "Wies'n-Express" has run on the 7.1 km freight branch from Rosenheim to Rohrdorf (Oberbay) for the Rosenheim Autumn Festival in late August and early September.

The Rohrdorf branch appears to be operated by Logistik Wiesböck. Details for 2013 were given on the Herbstfest Rosenheim website > Wiesn-Express > Fahrplan.

On some days the only train has started from Rohrdorf and given a break of several hours in Rosenheim before returning to Rohrdorf. However, two return trips are made on some days, enabling a return trip to Rohrdorf to be made.
