}} }} The Hamm–Warburg Railway is a 131 km long main line railway in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is part of an east-west line, known as the ''Mid-Germany Connection'' ((ドイツ語:Mitte-Deutschland-Verbindung)), and is served by InterCity trains between the Ruhr and Kassel, Erfurt and Berlin. In addition, there are dense freight and regional services. The line was opened between 1850 and 1853 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany. The most important stops are in Soest, Lippstadt and Paderborn. Altenbeken station is also a major point for train connections. In Warburg the line connects with the line to Kassel. Between Hamm and Paderborn the track allows speeds of up to 200 km/h. ==Route== The line from Hamm to Paderborn is relatively flat as it runs through the southern Westphalian Lowland to the east. It runs roughly parallel to the Lippe river and the historic Hellweg, the precursor of highway B 1. In Soest, it is joined by the line from Hagen. From there it goes on via Bad Sassendorf, Lippstadt, Geseke and Salzkotten to Paderborn. From Paderborn the route has the character of a low mountain railway. The line runs up a long slope over the viaducts near Neuenbeken and Altenbeken to reach Altenbeken junction in the north-west of the Eggegebirge range. It connects to lines to Hanover and Kreiensen at a triangular junction. From Altenbeken the route turns southeast and passes through the new Egge tunnel to Willebadessen. The dismantled Holzminden–Scherfede line also ran through the now closed Nörde station and there used to be a connection between the lines. The line meets the Upper Ruhr Valley line shortly before Warburg (here running through the valley of the Diemel). The line finishes in Warburg, continuing as the Kassel–Warburg line (originally built as part of the Frederick William Northern Railway) to Kassel. 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「Hamm–Warburg railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
