context_page_description: The Glasower Damm Ost – Bohnsdorf Süd railway is an electrified, predominantly double-track main line in Germany. It is mainly located in the state of Brandenburg south of Berlin, but a small part of it is in Berlin. It is mainly intended to connect Berlin Brandenburg Airport with the underground Berlin Brandenburg Airport station. Its eastern section replaced the Berlin-Grünau – Berlin Schönefeld Airport South railway, which was opened in 1963. This ran parallel to the current line and was mainly used to supply the airport with fuel and building materials. From 1992 to 2010, it was also used for passenger services to the biennial ILA Berlin Air Show.
  The new continuous line to the airport went into operation in October 2011. Because of the delays in opening the airport, it has no significant traffic so far, apart from the freight traffic to Schönefeld airport.
context_section_description: The Dresden railway crosses the Berlin outer ring in the area of Glasower Damm in the town of Mahlow. It is connected from the south to the Berlin outer ring via two connecting curves. The outer ring was upgraded to four tracks from the Glasower Damm Ost junction towards Schönefeld Airport in the 1980s. The new line to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) first uses the former northern pair of tracks of the outer ring. Less than two kilometres further east, the line then runs under the other tracks of the outer ring and turns towards the southeast. A short Selchow West junction–Selchow Süd junction link connects the southern tracks of the outer ring to the line to BER. This runs first above ground in a trough. North of the village of Selchow, it meets the Grünau Cross–Berlin Brandenburg Airport railway of the S-Bahn coming from the northeast. Both routes run parallel from the western edge of the airport area in a several kilometre-long tunnel between the two runways. The Berlin Brandenburg Airport station is located shortly before the eastern end of the tunnel. The S-Bahn line ends in the station and the main line continues northeast and leaves the tunnel. The fast tracks for regional trains ending in the station are already above ground. A short distance later, at Diepensee Cargo junction, the line meets the freight link from the airport, which was previously served by the original line. The new line converges with the route of the old line a short distance later in the area of the Kienberg loading point. The line passes under the A 113 autobahn to the east of the settlement of Hubertus. Both lines then run through a forest area in the locality of Berlin-Bohnsdorf; the new line runs about 250 metres south of the old line. Southeast of Bohnsdorf, the new line divides at Bohnsdorf West junction into two 1.4 km and 1.8 km-long single track sections, which run to the Görlitz Railway to the south and north, forming a railway triangle.
