The Schortens Weißer Floh – Wilhelmshaven Ölweiche railway line is a single-track, non- electrified branch line in Lower Saxony .
The line connects the East Frisian Coast Railway with the industrial areas north of Wilhelmshaven (connections: Voslapp chemical plant , Wilhelmshaven refinery (formerly Mobil Oil ), E.ON and Engie coal-fired power plants ) and with the JadeWeserPort . It was originally built as an industrial main track with a maximum speed of 25 km / h, but was expanded in the course of upgrading the rail connections for the JadeWeserPort for a speed of 80 km / h and was given an intersection with the Accum station. Electrification is planned together with parts of the East Frisian Coastal Railway and the Wilhelmshaven – Oldenburg railway line in order to save time and costs for reloading the trains.
