**Line 70** is a [railway line](/source/Railway_line) connecting [Luxembourg City](/source/Luxembourg_City) to the south-west of [Luxembourg](/source/Luxembourg), and on to [Belgium](/source/Belgium) and [France](/source/France). The terminus at the north-eastern end is [Luxembourg railway station](/source/Luxembourg_railway_station), whilst the terminals at the south are the French town of [Longuyon](/source/Longuyon) and the Belgian town of [Athus](/source/Athus). It is designated, and predominantly operated, by [Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois](/source/Chemins_de_Fer_Luxembourgeois). In the 2010s, former [line 80](/source/CFL_Line_80) was merged with Line 70 in order to link [Thionville](/source/Thionville) and [Longwy](/source/Longwy) via [Esch-sur-Alzette](/source/Esch-sur-Alzette).[1]

## Former [line 80](/source/CFL_Line_80)

This former line, now part of the line 70, is designated [Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois](/source/Chemins_de_Fer_Luxembourgeois), but predominantly operated by [NMBS/SNCB](/source/National_Railway_Company_of_Belgium). On the Belgian side of the border the routes are numbered in the NMBS/SNCB series.[2]

- Line 165 Libramont - Virton - Y Aubange - Athus
- Line 165/1 Y Aubange - Frontière RFNL (Rodange)
- Line 167 (Arlon) - Y. Autelbas - Athus - Frontière RFNL (Rodange)

The routes are all [electrified](/source/Railway_electrification_system) at 25 kV using [OHL](/source/Overhead_lines)[2] cf NMBS/SNCB's normal 3 kV DC OHL. This requires NMBS/SNCB to use [Class 41xx](/source/SNCB_Class_41) DMUs.
