context_page_description: The Duisburg–Quakenbrück railway is a former inter-regional German railway, built by the Rhenish Railway Company from Duisburg in the western Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia to Quakenbrück in Lower Saxony on the border of the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. Some sections of it are now disused.
  The railway ran from Duisburg via Oberhausen West, Bottrop Nord, Dorsten, Coesfeld, Steinfurt and Rheine to Quakenbrück where it connected with the network of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg State Railways.
  The majority of the line is now closed. The southern section to Bottrop is now used only for freight. The section between Dorsten and Coesfeld is still used for passengers as timetable route 424. Regionalverkehr Münsterland operates freight traffic over the section between Rheine and Spelle.
context_section_description: Large sections of the line are now closed and largely dismantled and services only run on certain sections. Some sections are used for cycle paths or cycle paths are planned.
