Bahnstrecke Halle–Bebra
The Weißenfels–Zeitz line was opened in 1859 between Weißenfels, Zeitz and Gera. Today, it connects the Eisenach–Erfurt–Naumburg–Halle mainline railway (Thuringian Railway, ) and the Leipzig–Probstzella line with each other. In its early days the line was used mainly to transport manufactured goods from Zeitz to Halle and Erfurt.
