context_page_description: The Homburg Railway is an 18 km line from Frankfurt am Main to Bad Homburg in the German state of Hesse. It was opened in 1860 as one of the first railway lines in Germany. It is now part of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn line S5 to Friedrichsdorf.
context_section_description: The Homburg line is now used by S-Bahn S5 services between Frankfurt South and Friedrichsdorf, and Hessische Landesbahn RB 15 services on the Taunusbahn between Frankfurt and Friedrichsdorf and Brandoberndorf. S-Bahn line S3 (Darmstadt–Bad Soden) and line S4 (Darmstadt/Langen–Kronberg im Taunus) use the section of the Homburg line from the  City Tunnel to Rödelheim. Line S6 uses Homburg line tracks as far as Frankfurt West instead of the parallel Main-Weser line. The Homburg line is integrated in the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) transport network.
