The Orla Railway (German: Orlabahn) is a 14.9 kilometre long branch line in Thuringia, that runs from Orlamünde on the Saal Railway to Pößneck's "lower station" (unterer Bahnhof). Until 1946 there was a continuation of the line to Oppurg on the Leipzig–Gera–Saalfeld railway. The 11.7 km long line, that branches off in Orlamünde from the Saal Railway south of Jena and is only operated today as far as the lower station in Pößneck, was inaugurated on 1 October 1889 to this station.
