context_page_description: The Breckenheim–Wiesbaden railway is a 13-kilometre long railway line in the vicinity of the Hessian state capital of Wiesbaden. It connects the Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed rail line with Wiesbaden Central Station.
  The double-track line was built from the late 1990s as a new line. It was completed in December 2002. With a scheduled train service of two long-distance pairs each day on the section between Kinzenberg and Breckenheim junctions, it is one of the least-congested sections of railway in Germany. This section is not used by either regional passenger or freight traffic.
  The total cost of construction of the line amounted to €279 million. It was originally estimated to cost €29 million less. The additional costs were assumed by Deutsche Bahn.
context_section_description: The line branches off the Cologne–Frankfurt high-speed line at Breckenheim junction near the Wiesbaden Cross autobahn junction on the A 3 autobahn, which it passes under in Wandersmann North Tunnel. After running through a short section of trough (with concrete walls) near Wallau it runs through the Wandersmann South Tunnel, passing under the A 66 autobahn. It resurfaces west of the Wallau autobahn junction. The route runs parallel to the A 66 through Nordenstadt on the northern edge of Lucius D. Clay Kaserne (a U.S. base formerly called the Wiesbaden Army Airfield) to Erbenheim. At the 10 kilometre mark from Breckenheim junction, it connects with the Ländches Railway (Ländchesbahn), which it follows to Wiesbaden Central Station and reaches at the 13 kilometre mark.
