Verbindungsbahn


A Verbindungsbahn is in German language a railway line that links stations, in some cases of different railroad companies, sometimes bypassing specific stations. Its most simple form is a Umgehungsbahn. A Verbindungsbahn can often be found near Terminus stations, interlinking them in large cities with several terminus stations. Sometimes the Verbindungsbahn is also called Stammstrecke. The term can also be found in other European languages in a similar form. As an abbreviation for Verbindungsbahn sometimes V-Bahn is used.
