Emscher-Niederrhein-Bahn
The Emscher-Niederrhein-Bahn (RB 35) is a Regionalbahn service in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It runs hourly between Gelsenkirchen and Duisburg with Mönchengladbach. Its name refers to the Emscher river (which runs near Duisburg and Gelsenkirchen) and the Lower Rhine (which the service crosses between Duisburg-Hochfeld Süd and Rheinhausen-Ost). History Before 2016, there was already a service numbered as RB 35, operating under the name of ''Der Weseler''. It ran mainly between Wesel and Duisburg Hbf and was extended during the peak hour from Duisburg to Düsseldorf and once a day to Cologne, as well as from Wesel to Emmerich and it thus functioned to relieve the Rhein-Express (RE 5). From the timetable change of 2016, the route was extended beyond Duisburg to Mönchengladbach, which complemented the northern section of the Rhein-Niers-Bahn. The RE 5 was shortened to run on the Wesel–Duisburg–Düsseldorf–Köln–Bonn–Koblenz sectio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
