Euskirchen Contents: The Route General description Services Rolling Stock What comes with the route? DB BR 644 (Bombardier Talent) Conclusion Pictures Credits Route General description The Erfttalbahn is a 14 km long, single-track, non-electrified branch line from Euskirchen to Bad Münstereifel. It is operated as a continuation of the Voreifel Railway from Bonn (KBS 475). In 2005, the Voreifel Railway was the most punctual line in the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia. The maximum speed on the track is 60 km/h and therefore only the PZB is available. From Euskirchen to Bad Münstereifel the RB23. On weekends as well as on Sundays and public holidays all trains to the S 23 to Bonn Hauptbahnhof are connected. From Monday to Friday, Bombardier Talent (Br 644) diesel railcars operate in single-traction. In the morning and noon there is a double traction, which is to compensate for the increased occupancy caused by many students. Services This route features regional services RB23 Euskirchen - Euskirchen Zuckerfabrik - Euskirchen-Stotzheim - Euskirchen-Kreuzweingarten - Bad Münstereifel-Arloff - Bad Münstereifel-Iversheim - Bad Münstereifel every 60 min Rolling Stock What comes with the route? DB BR 644 (Bombardier Talent) The Bombardier Talent is a family of railcars manufactured by Bombardier Transportation (formerly Talbot Waggonfabrik). “Talent” is an acronym for Talbot’s light railcars. The Talent has a top speed of 120 km/h and is 52.16 m long and 3-piece. It runs on the Erfttalbahn as a single traction and during school hours as a double traction. Conclusion I would find this route very interesting if it were published together with the Voreifelbahn. The attraction would be to be able to drive a track which would be rather slow and single-track. This would allow you to enjoy the scenery more while driving.
