    Was reading the German Wikipedia article on Railway directorates and upon reading that they list Bundesbahn Bahndirektion Frankfurt Köln Essen Reichsbahndirektion Erfurt Dresden Halle an der Saale.
    Based on that German Wikipedia article which one does Wunderline Bremen-Groningen belong to? Followed by Linke Rheinstrecke Koblenz Mainz Frankfurt, RRO, Main Spessart Bahn, RSN Schnellfahrstrecke Hannover Würzburg (full name of Kassel Würzburg) & Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen using the Bundesbahndirektion boundaries.
    Former GDR Rapid Transit Nahverkehr Dresden Tharandter Rampe Reichsbahndirektion?​
    Easiest ones that I know are Niddertalbahn Bad Vilbel Glauburg-Stockheim since it's simply stays on Bundesbahndirektion Frankfurt tracks and Hauptstrecke München-Augsburg stays on Bundesbahndirektion München tracks since these routes are contained to their own Railway directorate.
    Remember this is also reflected on selected locomotives assuming they have been repainted into Bundesbahn Produktfarben and GDR Deutsche Reichsbahn Produktfarben Dark Red and Black paints.​

    Indeed.

    I got further away from reading Wikipedia when I left this thread and opened Wikipedia itself. Jesus.

    It would have be far easier to read if you had just listed the well known and used abbreviations for each of the routes.

    Ive read your post 3 times and now need to lie down with a bag of ice on my head.

    Or, for that matter, inserted line-breaks and/or paragraphs so that it's easier to read.

    So, "Hannover - Würzburg" would suffice. It's a forum, not a technical manual to German Railways, c'mon.

    Even freaking commas would be a godsend, you can't tell where one route ends and the other starts in his word-salad posts most of the time.

    At least this time there’s no spoilers but nonetheless it’s still hard to read his thread, it’s like he’s putting as many word as possible next to each others.

    Why do you? Is there some strange and archaic law which will result in you being snatched from your family and being thrown in a Siberian Gulag if you just refer to it in an abbreviated form?
