Berlin-Blankenheim Railway (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Berlin-Blankenheim railway or Wetzlarer Bahn is a railway line in the German states of Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. It is a section of the Kanonenbahn between Berlin and Metz, built between 1877 and 1882. Wetzlar used to be an important rail junction on the Kanonenbahn. The Berlin-Blankenheim line originally ran from Berlin, via Bad Belzig, G sten, Sandersleben to Blankenheim, where a remnant of it still joins the Halle-Kassel line. The Wiesenburg-G sten section has carried no traffic since 2004 and is now closed. Only the Berlin-Wiesenburg section is electrified. The Sandersleben-Blankenheim section has only a single track, while the remainder of the still-operating parts of the line is duplicated.
