The Lohr–Wertheim railway line, also known as the East Spessart Railway, was a branch line in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. It ran mostly along the Main from Lohr am Main to Wertheim. In Wertheim there was a connection to the railway lines to Miltenberg and Lauda.

The Royal Bavarian State Railways began operating the 37.1-kilometer-long line on October 1, 1881; 1.6 kilometers of the line were on Baden territory. However, as early as 1885, the Bavarian Railway Administration described the connection as one of the least frequented lines in its network, and this did not change significantly in the decades that followed.

Passenger traffic was discontinued between Lohr Stadtbahnhof and Wertheim on May 30, 1976, and the Lohr Bahnhof–Lohr Stadt section followed on May 22, 1977. Freight traffic is still carried out there today, primarily to supply the local glassworks (as of 2020). Freight traffic between Lengfurt-Trennfeld and Wertheim was stopped on May 26, 1979, and between Lohr Stadt and Lengfurt-Trennfeld on September 29, 1991. The route was dismantled there in 1980/81 and 1993.

The three tunnels of the railway line - the Bettingberg tunnel, the Kaffelstein tunnel and the Schlossberg tunnel Wertheim - were closed in 1980/81. After the line was closed, the Bettingberg tunnel was used by Daimler-Benz AG for a while to test the track bus.
