Its name comes from the fact that the majority of the line runs through Franconia. The first section of the line was opened in 1848 and is one of the oldest lines in Germany. The main line is now electrified and has been almost entirely upgraded to double-tracks. ==Name== The name ''Frankenbahn'' is not a historical term for the Stuttgart–Würzburg line, but was adopted in 1996 following the regionalisation of operations. Other historical names for different sections of the line included the Central Railway (''Centralbahn''), the first railway in Württemberg, running from Esslingen to Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. The part of this route east of Stuttgart is now considered to be part of the Fils Valley Railway (''Filstalbahn''). It was later called the Northern Railway (''Nordbahn''), when it was extended to Heilbronn. The central section from Bad Friedrichshall to Osterburken was called the ''Lower Jagst Railway'' (''Untere Jagstbahn'') or the ''East Fork Railway'' (''Östliche Gabelbahn''). The section between Osterburken and Würzburg was originally part of the ''Odenwald Railway'' (''Odenwaldbahn''), between Heidelberg and Würzburg, built between 1862 and 1866. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franconia Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
