|- | colspan="2" | * beginning of the HSL |} The Cologne freight bypass railway ((ドイツ語:Güterumgehungsbahn Köln)) is a main line railway in southern Cologne in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is fully duplicated and electrified. The railway crosses the Cologne South Bridge, connecting the West Rhine Railway (''Linke Rheinstrecke''), Cologne South station and the Cologne Eifeltor freight yard on the left (western) side of the Rhine with the Sieg Railway, the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed railway, the East Rhine Railway (''Rechte Rheinstrecke''), and the marshalling yards of Cologne-Kalk Nord and Gremberg on the right (eastern) side of the Rhine. It was opened in 5 April 1910, disrupted by the bombing of the South Bridge on 6 January 1945, reopened with one track on 3 May 1946 and two tracks in 1950 and electrified on 27 May 1962. ==Operations== The line is mainly used by freight trains in order not to have to run through Cologne Central Station (''Hauptbahnhof''). Along the line, there are no passenger stations. During the development of the Western Ring (''Westring'') project as part of the Rhine-Sieg S-Bahn (operated as part of the Rhine-Ruhr S-Bahn), consideration is being given to running over the South Bridge. Currently, the bypass line is used by Intercity-Express trains from Düsseldorf and Wuppertal running towards the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed railway avoiding, on the one hand, a change of direction in Cologne station and, on the other hand, twice using the chronically overloaded Hohenzollern Bridge, which can only be operated at 30 km/h. This does not preclude the use of the airport loop for connecting to Cologne/Bonn Airport station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cologne freight bypass railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
