The Westfrankenbahn (WFB for short) is a RegioNetz of the Deutsche Bahn AG based in Aschaffenburg.
The Westfrankenbahn was founded on January 1, 2006.[2] The company leased the Aschaffenburg–Miltenberg line between Aschaffenburg Süd and Miltenberg, the Miltenberg West–Wertheim line, the Lauda–Wertheim line, the Crailsheim–Königshofen line and the Seckach–Miltenberg line. In addition, the Westfrankenbahn operates passenger trains on the routes Crailsheim–Heilbronn and Lauda–Königshofen. Since December 13, 2015, the Kahl–Schöllkrippen line has also been part of it. While no services have been provided on the Würzburg–Lauda section since December 2018, individual trains have been running between Lauda and Osterburken since then and continue to Heilbronn until December 2019. The total length of travel traveled by Westfrankenbahn is 401 kilometres (249 mi), of which 204 kilometres (127 mi) are on the company's own infrastructure.[1] Annually, the line provides a total of 3.6 million kilometers of rail transport.
In 2016, however, freight traffic only took place on the northern routes. The port in Wertheim is served regularly. Freight trains also run to Obernburg-Elsenfeld, Miltenberg, Kleinheubach and Gamburg.[3]
