The railway from Rémilly to Saarbrücken is a French and German 55-kilometre long railway line, that connects the French Grand Est region to the German city Saarbrücken. The railway was opened between 1851 and 1852.[3] It is part of the international railway connection between Paris and Frankfurt am Main.
