The Weinheim–Heidelberg railway is a metre-gauge railway between Weinheim and Heidelberg in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It was built by the former Oberrheinischen Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft AG (Upper Rhine Railway Company, OEG), later MVV OEG AG and is now operated by MVV Verkehr GmbH (infrastructure owner) and RNV (operations manager and train operator) according to Eisenbahn-Bau- und Betriebsordnung für Schmalspurbahnen (narrow-gauge railway regulations; ESBO). A short dual gauge section between Heidelberg and Schriesheim was formerly operated to carry standard gauge freight. It is operated as a branch line using electronic direct traffic control.
