The Jülich–Dalheim railway is a single-track main line, which was electrified in the Baal West–Ratheim section. The route, opened in 1911, used to be an important north-south connection between the textile locations of Düren and Mönchengladbach/Krefeld, and its importance in freight transport was primarily the connection to the Sophia-Jacoba colliery in Ratheim. In addition, from 1983 to 2001, large quantities of base paper were transported via Jülich to the PKL/SIG combibloc company in Linnich.
