German state railway DB is planning to invest around €1 billion in 138 railway infrastructure measures by the end of 2025. The project is part of an infrastructure programme for small and medium-sized measures, which includes a total of 355 planned projects for the railway network. The programme has a total volume of €4 billion and is to be fully implemented by 2030. It includes infrastructural improvements such as transfer facilities, signalling, and track switching operations. The programme is mainly financed by the federal government's climate protection package and DB's own funds. The projects are intended to improve the quality of production processes in rail freight transport, for example by expanding the network for 740 m long freight trains and optimising intermodal transport terminals. In regional passenger rail transport, measures are being implemented in coordination with the federal states.
