context_page_description: The Bremen–Oldenburg railway is a 44.4 km-long mainline railway that connects Oldenburg in the northwest of the German states of Lower Saxony and Bremen.
  It is served by a daily Intercity Express service between Oldenburg and Munich, InterCity trains between Norddeich Mole, Oldenburg and Leipzig, as well as freight and regional trains. The Bremen S-Bahn also operates over the line.
context_section_description: The line leaves Bremen Hauptbahnhof at its western exit and snakes through several tight bends through the former main freight yard and the "northwest node" to highway 6 passing the junctions of many freight lines to the bridge over the Weser. Until the construction of the Weser tunnel, this was the northernmost permanent crossing of the river.
  The line continues through Bremen-Neustadt in a westerly direction to Delmenhorst, where a busy line branches off to Vechta and Osnabrück (operated by NordWestBahn). From there it runs in a northwesterly direction towards Hude. There it connects with the line to Nordenham. In the Oldenburg district of Osternburg it joins the line from Osnabrück. The line crosses the Hunte on a bascule bridge to Oldenburg Hauptbahnhof.
