The Lucerne–Immensee railway line is a railway line in Switzerland that connects Lucerne with Immensee, the starting point of the Gotthard railway. It was built by the Gotthardbahn-Gesellschaft (GB) and opened on 1 June 1897 as the approach from Lucerne to the Gotthard railway. With the nationalisation of the Gotthardbahn on 1 May 1909, the line became the property of the Swiss Federal Railways (Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, SBB).
