Berlin Ringbahn

Berlin Ringbahn

The Ringbahn (German for: "Circle line") is a 37.5 km (23.3 mi) long railway line around the city centre of Berlin in Germany. The line is made up of the S-Bahn ring and the freight ring. S-Bahn service on the line is carried out by the S 41 and S 42 lines, with 400,000 passengers a day.
