Question: What country land locks the free state that is connected to Bavaria by the Schweinfurt–Meiningen railway,?
Context: The Free State of Saxony (German: "der Freistaat Sachsen" ] ; Upper Sorbian: "Swobodny stat Sakska" ) is a landlocked federal state of Germany, bordering the federal states of Brandenburg, Saxony Anhalt, Thuringia, and Bavaria, as well as the countries of Poland (Lower Silesian and Lubusz Voivodeships) and the Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary, Liberec and Ústí nad Labem Regions).  Its capital is Dresden, and its largest city is Leipzig. The Bavarian Order of Merit (German: "Bayerischer Verdienstorden" ) is the Order of Merit of the Free State of Bavaria.  It is awarded by the Minister-President of Bavaria as a "recognition of outstanding contributions to the Free State of Bavaria and the Bavarian people". The Kingdom of Bavaria (German: "Königreich Bayern" ) was a German state that succeeded the former Electorate of Bavaria in 1805 and continued to exist until 1918.  The Bavarian Elector Maximilian IV Joseph of the House of Wittelsbach became the first King of Bavaria in 1805 as Maximilian I Joseph.  The crown would go on being held by the Wittelsbachs until the kingdom came to an end in 1918.  Most of Bavaria's present-day borders were established after 1814 with the Treaty of Paris, in which Bavaria ceded Tyrol and Vorarlberg to the Austrian Empire while receiving Aschaffenburg and Würzburg.  With the unification of Germany into the German Empire in 1871, the kingdom became a federal state of the new Empire and was second in size, power, and wealth only to the leading state, the Kingdom of Prussia.  In 1918 Bavaria became a republic, and the kingdom was thus succeeded by the current Free State of Bavaria. Ritschenhausen is a railway station situated in the Thuringian village of Ritschenhausen on the Neudietendorf–Ritschenhausen and the Schweinfurt–Meiningen lines.  The station is a former border station between the Bavarian and the Prussian state railways. Bavaria ( German: "Bayern" ] ; Czech: "Bavorsko" ), officially the Free State of Bavaria (German: "Freistaat Bayern" ] ) is a landlocked federal state of Germany, occupying its southeastern corner.  With an area of 70,550.19 square kilometres (27,200 sq mi), Bavaria is the largest German state by land area.  Its territory comprises roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany.  With 12.9 million inhabitants, it is Germany's second-most-populous state (after North Rhine-Westphalia).  Bavaria's capital and largest city, Munich, is the third largest city in Germany. The Bamberg-Würzburg railway is a two-track electrified main line railway in the German state of Bavaria.  It is about 100 kilometres long and was built by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as part of the Ludwig's Western Railway (German: "Ludwigs-West-Bahn" ) from Bamberg via Haßfurt and Schweinfurt to Würzburg.  Between Bamberg and Schweinfurt, the line runs largely along the Main river.  The line was opened in sections between 1852 and 1854 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany. Dáil Éireann served as the directly elected lower house of the Oireachtas of the Irish Free State from 1922 to 1937.  The Free State constitution described the role of the house as that of a "Chamber of Deputies".  Until 1936 the Free State Oireachtas also included an upper house known as the Seanad.  Like its modern successor, the Free State Dáil was, in any case, the dominant component of the legislature; it effectively had authority to enact almost any law it chose, and to appoint and dismiss the President of the Executive Council (prime minister).  The Free State Dáil ceased to be with the creation of the modern 'Dáil Éireann' under the terms of the 1937 Constitution of Ireland.  Both the Dáil and Seanad sat in Leinster House. The Eisenach–Lichtenfels railway (also called the Werrabahn in German—Werra Railway) is a single-tracked main line with a standard gauge of in Thuringia and Bavaria in southern and central Germany, that runs mostly along the river Werra.  It runs from Eisenach via Meiningen to Eisfeld and, formerly, continued to Coburg and Lichtenfels.  It was opened in 1858 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany.  The railway company that built it, the "Werra Eisenbahngesellschaft" with its HQ in Meiningen was also often called by the "Werrabahn".  The company also ran several of the stub lines branching off the Werra Railway. Meiningen is a town in the southern part of the state of Thuringia, Germany.  It is located in the region Franconia and has a population of around 21,600 (2016).  Meiningen is the capital and the largest city of the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district.  From 1680 to 1920, Meiningen was the capital of the Duchy (and briefly of the Free State) of Saxe-Meiningen. The Schweinfurt–Meiningen railway, route number 5240, is a single-tracked main line in the states of Bavaria and Saxony in southern Germany.  It is also called the "Main-Rhön-Bahn" ("Main-Rhön railway") and is listed in the Deutsche Bahn timetable as route ("Kursbuchstrecke") 815.  The railway has been part of the Erfurt–Schweinfurt route since 1993.  Passenger services on the line are provided by DB Regio and the Erfurter Bahn (EB).
