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.
