The Wern Valley Railway (''Werntalbahn'') is a single-track electrified main line railway in Lower Franconia in the German state of Bavaria. It runs in the Wern valley from Waigolshausen via Arnstein to Gemünden am Main and it is currently mainly used for freight traffic.
==History==
On 1 July 1854, the Schweinfurt–Würzburg line was opened as a section of the Ludwig Western Railway and it was extended to Aschaffenburg in the same year. Despite the devious route that was involved in going via Würzburg, the direct route via the Wern valley was not opened until 15 May 1879. The line had its importance, especially for regional freight and passenger traffic. Passenger traffic, however, declined more and more in the second half of the 20th century until passenger services ended completely on 30 May 1976. Freight traffic has never lost its importance on the Wern Valley Railway, which is still busy as a bypass of the Würzburg node. For this reason it was electrified in 1971 along with the Bamberg–Waigolshausen railway (the Waigolshausen–Rottendorf line was converted to electric operations in the summer 1972 timetable) and it was extensively renovated and modernised from 2002. Meanwhile, there are also efforts to restore passenger services, so, for example, a train for cyclists runs from Aschaffenburg to Bamberg in the summer on weekends on the Wern Valley Railway, but without stopping on it. In addition, Erfurter Bahn uses the line for the movement of empty rolling stock.
