Description
Until the opening of the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line, the Left Rhine line was one of the busiest in Germany. The fastest trains connecting the Rhineland and southern Germany ran on the line. The importance of the line for long distance travel has diminished since the opening of the high-speed line. The line is now generally used by one InterCity or Intercity-Express service (stopping at Bonn, Koblenz and Mainz) each hour, one Regional-Express train each hour (the Rhein-Express) and one RegionalBahn (stopping) train each hour in each direction, as well as by freight trains. Before the opening of the high-speed line, freight trains were largely restricted to the Right Rhine line, but with the increased availability of train paths on the Left Rhine line many of them are now routed over it.

Shinkansen bullet train nearing Tokyo station with a local monorail train on the viaduct above, c.1982. This first type (0 Series) of Shinkansen first saw service in Japan in 1964 and at the time was the world's fastest train at 220 kph (140 mph). Type 0 trains ran until 2008. Tokyo's monorail was opened in 1964 (to service that year's Olympic Games). It links Hamamatsucho and Hameda Airport. The trains were built by Hitachi to the German ALWEG design. It is considered to be the world's busiest (and most profitable) monorail.
