===Mainz-Mombach – Mainz Abzw Kaiserbrücke West===
[680] (ERA-E 57A2; ERA-R 122C1; S+W ''151B2'') DE24/401


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

===Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf – Ludwigshafen BASF Nord===
D1: 28 April to 27 October 2024, plus holidays
[660, 665, 670] (55A1, not shown correctly, ''159A2-159A1'') DE09/403


Various trains to/from Ludwigshafen operate to/from the BASF chemical works. There are three halts, Süd, Mitte and Nord, within the BASF works. Use of the trains is officially restricted to those with works passes. Smoking and photography are strictly forbidden within the works.
===Trier Hbf - Ehrang Ort / Kordel===
[690] (ERA-E 52C2 not shown; ERA-R 111C5; S+W ''155D1'') DE24/407


Journey time between Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hbf and Ludwigshafen BASF Nord is 11 or 12 minutes.
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.  


Although the service is not advertised to the general public, most trains to and from BASF can be identified in the ''Kursbuch'' by 'Lu’hafen BASF' being shown as the destination or origin of trains at the bottom or top of the timing column. Full timings are available from the DB website, http://www.bahn.de/.
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


{| width="100%"  
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.

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


This line is used by those trains between Enkenbach and Kaiserslautern Hbf which are not booked to call at Hochspeyer.
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.

Introduction

This list is based on the timetable dated from 10 December 2023 to 14 December 2024, unless otherwise stated. Standard abbreviations are explained here.

Map references for each route entry are given in parentheses ( ). References prefixed "ERA-E" refer to the European Railway Atlas (All-Europe Edition) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "ERA-R" refer to the European Railway Atlas (Regional Series: Book 2) by M.G. Ball. References prefixed "S+W", or in italic, refer to Eisenbahnatlas Deutschland by Schweers + Wall.

Obscure services

Mainz-Mombach – Mainz Abzw Kaiserbrücke West

[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

[670.1] (ERA-E 53C1-61C2; ERA-R 111A2; S+W 159A2-158D1) DE24/402

Trains operate between Ludwigshafen Hbf and the 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:

  • SSuX: 05:19, 05:58, 08:46 and hourly until 14:46, then frequent until 17:43, 18:45
  • SSuO: 05:19, 05:58, 17:43

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.

D1 SSuX RB12700 Bad Kreuznach – 05:54 Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf
D1 SSuX RB12704 Bad Kreuznach – 06:24 Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf
D1 SSuX RB12706 Bingen (Rhein) Hbf – 06:56 Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf
D1 SSuX RB12712 Bingen (Rhein) Hbf – 07:54 Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf
D2 SSuX RB12386 Mainz Hbf / Bad Kreuznach – 14:04 Enkenbach – Kaiserslautern Hbf

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.
