RHEDA 2000® was installed between May and December 2016 on the line 5200 Würzburg-Aschaffenburg in the Hanau-Nantenbach section. This project shows the impressive versatility of RHEDA 2000® under different conditions. The ballastless track system was used in tunnels, troughs, on earthworks and short bridges. The 160-year-old Schwarzkopf tunnel between Laufach and Heigenbrücken was built to improve the quality of the line.
