The Elschbach Tunnel is, alongside the Meisenheim Tunnel and the Kinnsfels Tunnel, one of a total of three tunnels on the Glantalbahn, which has been closed since 1996. It was located along the southern section of the Homburg–Glan-Münchweiler line at kilometer 14 from Homburg.
The tunnel, which opened in 1904, was necessary to shorten a loop of the Glan river. Originally designed as a double track, it was only operated as a single track from the 1960s onwards. There have been no tracks in it since 1987. Since 2002 it has served the Glan-Blies-Weg, which was built between 2001 and 2006. Despite its name, it is not located in the Elschbach district, but in the Hütschenhausen district.
