}} }} The Halle-Halle–Hann. Münden railway (also known along with a portion of the Hanoverian Southern Railway as the ''Halle-Kasseler Eisenbahn''—Halle-Kassel railway) is a 218 km long main line operated by the Deutsche Bahn in Germany, which links Halle (Saale) in Saxony-Anhalt with Hann. Münden in the state of Lower Saxony. It is mainly used by regional and east-west goods trains. From 1990 to 1994 it was upgraded as part of a German Unification Transport Project. == Route == The railway line climbs out of Halle to Lutherstadt Eisleben in the Mansfelder Land. Near Blankenheim it passes through the only tunnel on the route. From there the railway descends again until it reaches the Goldene Aue near Sangerhausen, a plain between the Harz mountains and the Kyffhäuser hills. At the western end of the hill range the railway reaches the Thuringian town of Nordhausen. From here it climbs again, grazes Bleicherode, and crosses the Eichsfeld passing through Leinefelde and Heilbad Heiligenstadt. Near Eichenberg it switches from the valley of the Leine to that of the river Werra and follows it as far as Hann. Münden in Lower Saxony. From here it runs along the Fulda to Kassel. The main station is a terminus with its approach from the west; as a result the line has to loop around the northern part of the city. The line is very winding. From Witzenhausen Nord to Kassel Hauptbahnhof it is almost 42 km long whereas the distance as the crow flies is just 26 km. Until electrification goods trains were pushed up the inclines on both sides of the Blankenheim Tunnels (on the Blankenheimer Ramp or Riestedt Ramp). For that purpose locomotives were stabled in the ''Bahnbetriebswerk'' at Röblingen am See for 120 years. 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「Halle–Hann.
