Obscure services

This list is based on the timetable in force until 13 December 2009, 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.

Pinneberg (Hamburg-Eidelstedt Gbf) – Hamburg-Harburg (Abzw Oberhafen) (via Hamburg-Lokstedt and Hamburg-Horn)

(22A2, 120C2-119C4) DE09/051

This ring line around the north and east of Hamburg is used principally by freight trains, but the following are also scheduled to run this way:

H FO DZ13265 Høje Taastrup - 14:15 Padborg – Bad Gastein
H FO CNL1273 Høje Taastrup – 14:58 Padborg – St Michel Valloir
H SO DZ13264 Bad Gastein – 23:12 Kufstein - Høje Taastrup

Hamburg-Altona avoiding line: Pinneberg (Hamburg-Langenfelde Bbf) – Hamburg Dammtor (Abzw Rainweg)

[130, 131] (22A2, 119A3) DE09/052

This north to east curve is used by trains between Elmshorn (or north thereof) and Hamburg Dammtor which are not booked to call at Hamburg-Altona. Most trains between Hamburg Hbf and Kiel Hbf or Flensburg use this route. Westerland trains, other than IC ones, mostly start and terminate at Hamburg-Altona.

Hamburg Hbf – Hamburg-Bergedorf (Rothenburgsort Rop) (via Abzw Ericus)

[100, 204.1] (22B2, 119C4-119D4) DE09/053

This is an alternative route between Hamburg Hbf and the Büchen line, and is the only one available for trains using platforms on the west side of Hamburg Hbf (numbered 11 and higher).

Hamburg Hbf – Hamburg-Harburg (Abzw Oberhafen/Abzw Norderelbbrücke) (via goods line)

[110, 120, 121] (22B2, 119C4-120D4) DE09/054

Between Hamburg Hbf and Hamburg-Harburg there are, in addition to the S-Bahn tracks, two pairs of tracks - one designated Pz-Gl (passenger line) and the other Gz-Gl (goods line), the latter being located between the S-Bahn tracks and the Pz-Gl.

All four tracks are used for passenger trains as operating convenience requires. They share common alignment south of Abzw Oberhafen (where the goods line from Rothenburgsort joins), but north-west of there, the Pz-Gl are on a viaduct, whereas the Gz-Gl follow a slightly different alignment at ground level via Abzw Ericus. A single-track connection from Abzw Ericus passes under the Pz-Gl viaduct and joins the southbound Pz-Gl at Abzw Norderelbbrücke.

The Gz-Gl are used, as required, by passenger trains to avoid conflicting moves at Hamburg Hbf. The connection to Abzw Norderelbbrücke, in particular, enables trains from platforms 8, 11 & 12 at Hamburg Hbf to reach the southbound Pz-Gl without crossing the northbound track on the level.

Route indicators associated with signals at the south end of Hamburg Hbf show the line to be used. 'P' indicates use of the Pz-Gl and 'H' the Gz-Gl.

Hamburg Hbf (Abzw Wilhelmsburg) – Hamburg-Harburg (via harbour line)

[121] (22B2, 120D3-120D4) DE09/055

South of Abzw Wilhelmsburg an additional pair of tracks, designated Hafen-Gl (harbour line), run broadly parallel to the main line on the approach to Hamburg-Harburg. They are normally used by those Cuxhaven line trains running through to or from Hamburg Hbf.

Hamburg-Harburg (Abzw Oberhafen) – Hamburg-Bergedorf (Rothenburgsort Rop)

[100, 120, F42] (22B2, 119C4-119D4) DE09/056

This line is used by trains between the Hamburg-Harburg and Büchen lines, if not calling at Hamburg Hbf.

E SO IC1804 Köln Hbf – 12:50 Hamburg-Harburg – Ostseebad Binz
E SO IC1805 Ostseebad Binz – 13:28 Schwerin Hbf – Köln Hbf
