Line 610 Bebra - Fulda   The Bebra - Fulda line runs along Haunetal, a beautiful river valley flanked by rounded, forested hills and dotted with small farming villages. The railway is far from the quiet backwater you might expect in such a rural idyll. It's a double track electrified main line and a vital link between northern and southern Germany. Freight traffic is heavy and varied and there are regular loco hauled passengers as well.

Line 800 Gemünden - Würzburg   The valley of the River Main provides a convenient route for traffic from Frankfurt and the north into Bavaria. Like the Bebra - Fulda line, freight traffic is heavy, the scenery is attractive and the passenger trains are loco hauled. All of Railion's electric locomotive classes can be seen at work here along with diesels and electrics belonging to open-access operators.

Line 970/975 Kempten - Immenstadt - Oberstdorf / Lindau   The line south from Kempten runs through the Oberallgäu, an area of rolling hills and small farms in the shadow of the Bavarian Alps. The railways here are diesel worked with a mixture of modern DMUs and older locomotives doing the honours. Freight traffic is sparse but there are frequent passenger trains to photograph.

Bayern (Miscellaneous)   Bayern Land covers a huge area of south eastern Germany and is more commonly known to English speakers as Bavaria. Its railways are as varied as its landscape with rural branches serving picturesque villages in the Alpine foothills, fast main lines crossing vast agricultural plains and bustling cities with busy suburban networks.
