## About This Content
As one of the most important routes in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the
Hamburg-Lubeck Railway forms part of the Vogelfluglinie, connecting Germany’s
second largest city with the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.
Initial plans to build a direct railway between the two German cities were
drawn up in 1831, however it was another 34 years until the railway actually
opened. Previous to the direct route, trains had to travel via Buchen to join
the Berlin-Hamburg railway, a diversion approximately 32km (20 miles) longer
than the direct route.
Today, the Hamburg-Lubeck Railway has the highest passenger numbers in
Schleswig-Holstein, and starts out at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, the second busiest
station in Europe. On departure, the route heads north-east through the
suburbs of Hamburg, crossing connecting lines to Hannover, Berlin, Harburg and
Hamburg Airport.
Between Hamburg-Rahlstedt and Ahrensburg, the line runs alongside the
Stellmoor tunnel valley, and at Bad Oldesloe, the line connects with hourly
services to Bad Segeberg and Neumunster, making it the most important
intermediate stop on the line. From Bad Oldesloe, the line heads east to
Reinfeld before turning north into Lubeck Hauptbahnhof.
Standard services on the line are usually formed of a DB BR 143 or DB BR 218
hauling double decker coaches and the S-Bahn uses DB BR 474.3s, with
Regionalbahn services operated by DB BR 648s. ICE TD and IC3 units also run on
the route, although since the construction of the Great Belt Bridge between
Funen and Zealand, long-distance rail traffic has significantly reduced on the
route.
Starting in 2017, upgrades to the Hamburg to Bad Oldesloe section will see new
stations at Claudiusstraße, Bovestraße, Holstenhofweg and Pulverhof for S-Bahn
operations.
The Hamburg-Lubeck Railway route add-on for Train Simulator includes a number
of prototypical rolling stock, including the DB BR 145 electric locomotive, DB
BR 218 diesel hydraulic locomotive and DBAG BR 294 diesel freight shunter.
