The Dortmund freight bypass railway (German: Güterumgehungsbahn Dortmund) is a railway line in the north of the city of Dortmund in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is designed for the carriage of freight only, allowing freight trains that pass through Dortmund to avoid Dortmund Hauptbahnhof, reducing delays to passenger traffic and reducing threat of dangerous accidents in the city centre.
