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 or Mainz-Bischofsheim if not calling at Mainz Hbf.  
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.

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.

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.
Trains ''EC6,7,8'' and ''9'' between Switzerland and Hamburg were due to be diverted over this route over the Easter weekend between 10 and 13 April 2020, but this has now been cancelled.
