The Eisenach–Lichtenfels railway line is a single-track main line in Thuringia and Bavaria, which was originally built and operated by the Werra Railway Company. It runs from Eisenach along the Werra via Meiningen to Eisfeld and previously via Coburg to Lichtenfels. Due to its route and the company that built it, it is also called the Werra Railway. The section from Coburg to Lichtenfels is electrified.

On February 18, 1856, the groundbreaking ceremony took place in Grimmelshausen near Themar. On November 1, 1858, the entire route between Eisenach and Coburg, with a length of 130.1 km, was officially inaugurated. 17 reception buildings, 10 locomotive sheds, a workshop, 22 residential buildings for railway officials, 128 signalmen's houses, 179 road crossings, 63 underpasses and overpasses, 31 bridges and a tunnel near Förtha were built. Up to 8,470 workers (June 1858) were employed in the construction of the railway. Regular train service began on November 2, 1858 with 24 locomotives and 367 wagons. The remaining 30 km route to Lichtenfels was put into operation in January 1859. All of the engineering structures had been designed from the outset for double-track operation.
