The Dreieich Railway (Dreieichbahn) is a single-track, non-electrified branch line in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main area in the German state of Hesse. It connects Dreieich-Buchschlag on the Main-Neckar Railway with Rödermark-Ober Roden on the Rodgau Railway. Colloquially, the RMV route 61 (RB 61) service is referred to as the Dreieichbahn, which continued beyond Ober-Roden on the Rodgau Railway to Dieburg.
