German railway route numbers
German railway route numbers (German:Streckennummern) are used to designate and identify railway routes, or sections of routes, within Germany. In Germany, there are a total of 3 different numbering systems used by the Deutsche Bahn, which meet different requirements.
These systems are:
- VzG route numbers (four digit)
- Timetabled route numbers (three digit)
- Restricted speed section (La) route numbers (one to three digit)
In addition there are numbers in the railway operators' timetables; these are not covered here.
