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 since 1983 it has been used only for freight traffic. The Zweckverband Schienenpersonennahverkehr Rheinland-Pfalz Nord (municipal association for rail transport in northern Rhineland-Palatinate) plans to use the line again for passengers with an hourly Regionalbahn connection from Wittlich to Luxembourg. Currently, it lacks the necessary stations.[2]
