S-Bahn Erfurt was a colloquial term for a diesel-powered railway connection that existed from 1976 to 1995 in the Thuringian state capital Erfurt, Germany. The term "S-Bahn" is also occasionally used in popular literature.[1] Other contemporary media used terms such as "suburban traffic at the local transport tariff" to describe it.[2] When the line was introduced in 1976, only the "reversible train service" on this line was highlighted as a special feature.[3] In the Kursbuch tables of Deutsche Reichsbahn, the terms "S-Bahn" or "S-Bahn-Tarif" were not used for this line.[4][5] Riethschleuder was another colloquial term for the connection.[6]
