Traben-Trarbach railway - Germany - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

The 10.5-kilometre-long line is located in Rhineland-Palatinate in the Moselle valley. It connects the tourist town of Traben-Trarbach with the InterCity railway station of Bullay and runs for its entire length in the river valley. Trains on the line leave Bullay station at first running on the Koblenz–Trier line, running over the Alf-Bullay double-deck bridge and then through the Prinzenkopf Tunnel. After the tunnel the lines runs over the 786 metre-long Pünderich Hangviadukt (a viaduct built on a slope with its supports much longer on the downhill side), the longest in Germany.

The branch line starts at Pünderich station, which never had significant passenger traffic due to its very remote location and has been long closed for passengers. The branch line is single track and not electrified.

After 1.5 km the line reaches Reil station. At the 6.8 km point is Kövenig station, where in the summer months, a passenger ferry runs to Enkirch on the opposite bank.

The old terminus at Traben-Trarbach was at the former end of the track at 10.6 km from Pünderich. This station has been replaced by a new station a couple of hundred metres short of it. The site of the former station is now a bus station. Source: Wikipedia
