context_page_description: The Glasower Damm Ost – Bohnsdorf Süd railway is an electrified, predominantly double-track main line in Germany. It is mainly located in the state of Brandenburg south of Berlin, but a small part of it is in Berlin. It is mainly intended to connect Berlin Brandenburg Airport with the underground Berlin Brandenburg Airport station. Its eastern section replaced the Berlin-Grünau – Berlin Schönefeld Airport South railway, which was opened in 1963. This ran parallel to the current line and was mainly used to supply the airport with fuel and building materials. From 1992 to 2010, it was also used for passenger services to the biennial ILA Berlin Air Show.
  The new continuous line to the airport went into operation in October 2011. Because of the delays in opening the airport, it has no significant traffic so far, apart from the freight traffic to Schönefeld airport.
context_section_description: The first plans in the mid-1990s included as an airport connection for regional services, an InterRegio service from Kiel via Berlin and the airport line to Görlitz.
  In the mid-2000s, the Berlin Senate planned that all ICE and IC trains starting or ending in Berlin would be routed to and from the airport station and an InterCity line would run from Berlin to the airport towards Cottbus and continue to Poland. However, these plans were not pursued further.
  At the beginning of 2012, prior to the planned opening of the BER, it was planned that the three RE/RB lines that run to the old Schoenefeld Airport station would instead run to the new airport station. These were the RE 7 (Dessau – Berlin – Wünsdorf-Waldstadt), RB 14 (Nauen – Berlin – Senftenberg) and RB 22 (Potsdam – Airport (− Königs Wusterhausen)) services. In addition, a new RE 9 line was to connect the airport via the Outer Ring and the Berlin–Halle railway (Anhalter Bahn) to Berlin Hauptbahnhof. A direct fast connection to the city centre of Berlin was not possible because the construction of long-distance tracks on the Dresden Railway in Berlin has been delayed. In addition, a few long-distance services would be extended to the airport. With the completion of the Dresden Railway, instead of the current RE 9 service, an unsubsidised airport express service would connect the airport station with the city centre every 15 minutes and some other services would also run over this route.
