The Trier West Railway (German: Trierer Weststrecke) a 14 km-long railway line running from Trier-Ehrang in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate to Wasserbillig in Luxembourg via Trier-West. The double-track, electrified section between Trier-Ehrang and the Moselle bridge at Konz forms a bypass of the Trier rail node. The track was built from 1860 to 1870 and it had been used only for freight traffic from 1983 to 2025. The line was reopened with five train stations in 2025.
