This west to north curve links the line from Koblenz via Bingen with the Kaiserbrücke over the Rhein. It may be used by trains to Hochheim (Main) or Mainz-Bischofsheim if not calling at Mainz Hbf. Various types of older carriages are not permitted through the tunnels at Mainz, so any trains including such vehicles are likely to be diverted this way.  This should not affect regular passenger trains operating through Mainz; excursions and other special trains are more likely to use this route.

===Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf – Ludwigshafen (Rhein) BASF Nord===
[670.1] (ERA-E 53C1-61C2; ERA-R 111A2; S+W ''159A2-158D1'') DE24/402
Trains operate between Ludwigshafen Hbf and the [https://www.basf.com/de/en/company/about-us/sites/ludwigshafen.html BASF chemical works]. Many trains in the peak operate through to/from other stations such as Karlsruhe Hbf or Germersheim. All trains operate under the designation ''S44'' except the 07:21 from Ludwigshafen Hbf which runs through from Ramsen as ''RB46''.
'''From Ludwigshafen (Rh) Hbf''':
* SSuX: 04:50 TWX, frequent until 07:55; 09:03 and hourly until 15:03, then 17:03, 18:15
* SSuO: 04:50, 05:37, 17:03
'''From Ludwigshafen (Rh) BASF Nord''':

'''Use of these trains is officially restricted to those with works passes. Smoking and photography are strictly forbidden within the works.'''
===Ludwigshafen west curve: Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim (Überleitung Nord) – Ludwigshafen-Mundenheim===
[659] (ERA-E 53C1 not shown; ERA-R 111A2; S+W ''158D2'') DE24/403
This pair of curves, via the low level west side platforms at Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf, is used by through trains between the Worms and Schifferstadt lines. There is an ''RE'' service between Mainz and Karlsruhe via Germersheim every two hours for most of the day. Northbound trains run via platform 6 and the diveunder route to the Worms line, whereas southbound trains run via the direct curve to platforms 8 or 9.
===Schifferstadt avoiding line: Limburgerhof (Abzw Limburgerhof) – Böhl-Iggelheim (Abzw Böhl-Iggelheim)===
[670] (ERA-E 53C1; ERA-R 111A1; S+W ''158D3-158C4'') DE24/404
This line is used by trains between Mannheim / Ludwigshafen and Neustadt (Weinstraße) / Kaiserslautern not calling at Schifferstadt.
===Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf===
[672.2] (ERA-E 53B1; ERA-R 112C4; S+W ''155C4-155D3'') DE24/405
Most services between Enkenbach and Kaiserslautern Hbf are not booked to call at Hochspeyer, so run on the direct line via Eselsfürth. Only the following trains run via Hochspeyer.

[660,665.3-4] (ERA-E 53C1 not shown; ERA-R 111A2;''158D2'') DE21/403
 
This pair of curves, via the low level west side platforms at Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf, is used by through trains between the Worms and Schifferstadt lines. There is an ''RE'' service between Mainz and Karlsruhe via Germersheim every two hours for most of the day. Northbound trains run via platform 6 and the diveunder route to the Worms line, whereas southbound trains run via the direct curve to platforms 8 or 9.

[690] (ERA-E 52C2 not shown; ERA-R 111C5; S+W ''155D1'') DE24/407
 
There are two routes between Trier Hbf and the ''Moselstrecke'' to Koblenz, or the ''Eifelstrecke'' towards Köln.  The main line runs via Ehrang Bahnhof, but there is also a single line that runs on the far (east) side of the marshalling yard (Rbf) at Ehrang.  The eastern route is sometimes used by ''RE'' trains '''from''' Trier to Koblenz, non-stop to Schweich.


There are two routes between Trier Hbf and the ''Moselstrecke'' to Koblenz. The main line runs via Ehrang Bahnhof, but there is also a single line that runs on the far (east) side of the marshalling yard at Ehrang.  The eastern route is sometimes used by ''RE'' trains '''from''' Trier, non-stop to Schweich.
This route is often used by diverted trains to/from Kyllburg, Wittlich or Koblenz, sometimes in one direction only. Whether trains are due to take this route can be ascertained by calls at Pfalzel and Ehrang being omitted by ''RB'' services as is the case between 17 - 21 January 2024.

This west to north curve links the ''Moselstrecke'' from Trier to the ''Linke Rheinstrecke'' via Bonn Hbf, avoiding Koblenz Hbf. It is used occasionally in March and April by the through trains between Luxembourg and Düsseldorf Hbf, which normally reverse in Koblenz Hbf. Trains ran to the folowing schedules on 13 to 15, 19 to 22, 28 to 30 March and 6 to 10 April 2020, but terminating and starting at Wittlich or Wasserbillig on some days.
This west to north curve links the ''Moselstrecke'' from Trier to the ''Linke Rheinstrecke'' via Bonn Hbf, avoiding Koblenz Hbf. It is used by a pair of ''RE12'' services between Trier and Köln. Note until AM 22 March 2024 this pair is diverted to/from Köln Messe/Deutz to/from Koblenz-Lützel via a call at Bonn-Beuel.

If trains are diverted via the ''Rechte Rheinstrecke'' they normally cross back to the left bank to call at Koblenz Hbf.  Exceptionally, they may use this route and not call at Koblenz.  Diverted trains can be readily identified because they stop at Bonn-Beuel and Neuwied instead of Bonn Hbf and Koblenz Hbf.

[680] (ERA-E 57A2; ERA-R 122C1; S+W 151B2) DE24/401

This west to north curve links the line from Koblenz via Bingen with the Kaiserbrücke over the Rhein. It may be used by trains to Hochheim (Main) or Mainz-Bischofsheim if not calling at Mainz Hbf. Various types of older carriages are not permitted through the tunnels at Mainz, so any excursion or charter trains including such vehicles are likely to be diverted this way.

The following train is the rear portion of a service that divides at Budenheim.

SSuX RB29681 Bad Kreuznach – 07:14 Budenheim – Wiesbaden Hbf

Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf – Ludwigshafen (Rhein) BASF Nord

Trier Hbf - Ehrang Ort / Kordel

[690] (ERA-E 52C2 not shown; ERA-R 111C5; S+W 155D1) DE24/407

There are two routes between Trier Hbf and the Moselstrecke to Koblenz, or the Eifelstrecke towards Köln. The main line runs via Ehrang Bahnhof, but there is also a single line that runs on the far (east) side of the marshalling yard (Rbf) at Ehrang. The eastern route is sometimes used by RE trains from Trier to Koblenz, non-stop to Schweich.

This route is often used by diverted trains to/from Kyllburg, Wittlich or Koblenz, sometimes in one direction only. Whether trains are due to take this route can be ascertained by calls at Pfalzel and Ehrang being omitted by RB services as is the case between 17 - 21 January 2024.

Koblenz-Moselweiß (Koblenz Mosel Gbf) - Koblenz-Lützel

[470,690] (ERA-E 53B4; ERA-R 105B2; S+W 150C2) DE24/408

This west to north curve links the Moselstrecke from Trier to the Linke Rheinstrecke via Bonn Hbf, avoiding Koblenz Hbf. It is used by a pair of RE12 services between Trier and Köln. Note until AM 22 March 2024 this pair is diverted to/from Köln Messe/Deutz to/from Koblenz-Lützel via a call at Bonn-Beuel.

RE4188 Trier Hbf – 19:36 Wittlich Hbf – Köln Messe/Deutz
RE4189 Köln Messe/Deutz – 07:19 Koblenz-Lützel – Trier Hbf

Note that once the Eifelstrecke via Gerolstein is fully reopened, these workings are likely to cease. This is not likely to be until the end of 2024 at the earliest.

Obscure services: Lines used on an occasional basis for engineering work diversions

Koblenz-Ehrenbreitstein (Pfaffendorf) - Niederlahnstein

[465.1, 465.2] (ERA-E 53B4; ERA-R 105B2; S+W 150D2) DE24/431

If trains are diverted via the Rechte Rheinstrecke they normally cross back to the left bank to call at Koblenz Hbf. Exceptionally, they may use this route and not call at Koblenz. Diverted trains can be readily identified because they stop at Bonn-Beuel and Neuwied instead of Bonn Hbf and Koblenz Hbf.
