On 3 February 2026 the Niedax Group officially opened its technology campus and the Synnoscape experience centre in Neustadt/Wied-Rahms (Rhineland-Palatinate); Chancellor Friedrich Merz took part in the opening. The campus covers an area of more than 100,000 m², is meant to grow in the long term and is expected to offer up to 500 jobs in due course; a production site for fibre-optic cable ducts is also planned on neighbouring land in due course. From here Niedax intends to steer, together with partners, the build-up of a fibre network along about 33,000 km of railway track and of small and medium-sized data centres; the partner companies of the experience centre include Netz 33, Corning and Bechtle.

The Ahr Valley railway, rebuilt after the 2021 flood, returned to service with the timetable change on 14 December 2025; on the 29 km between Remagen and Ahrbrück, DB InfraGO says in its annual review that it restored track, bridges, tunnels and ten stations, built modern interlocking technology and installed overhead lines for electric operation. Trans Regio runs the new RB 32 service there hourly with Siemens Mireo trains on behalf of the Rhineland-Palatinate North regional rail authority (SPNV Nord); the additional contract initially runs for eight years until the 2033 timetable change. Because DB InfraGO could not finish all construction work by the timetable change, an interim concept with a change at Remagen applied at first; the RB 32 was not expected to run through to Boppard every two hours until around mid or late 2026, the reason being a new 900 m retaining wall in Heimersheim. (LOK Report, 18 Dec and 29 Dec 2025) Update (12 Dec 2025): The total volume of the reconstruction and electrification of the Ahr Valley line is about EUR 590 million. On the 29 km between Remagen and Ahrbrück DB restored 18 km of track, 22 bridges, five tunnels and ten stations, installed 55 km of overhead line and 84 signals, and connected the line to the Ahrweiler interlocking. At the start on 14 December 2025 the RB 30 runs to Ahrbrück and the RB 32 only to Altenahr; because of the retaining wall at Heimersheim both are to run the full length by summer 2026.

The 4,205-metre Kaiser Wilhelm Tunnel, opened in 1877 on the Moselle railway line between Cochem and Ediger-Eller, was fundamentally renovated between 2014 and 2017 by inserting a new single-track reinforced-concrete tube into the existing cross-section. Since 2 July 2017 the line has again been operated double-track, with one track per tunnel tube (the renovated old tube plus the new parallel tube opened in 2014). Renovation of the old tube was budgeted at roughly EUR 75 million, with the overall project (including the new tube) at around EUR 210 million. — Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser-Wilhelm-Tunnel
