The Alster Northern Railway (German: Alsternordbahn) or ANB was a non-electrified, single-tracked branch line in northern Germany. It linked the stations of Ochsenzoll in Hamburg-Langenhorn with Ulzburg Süd in the district of Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein.
The northern part of the route to Norderstedt Mitte is used today by AKN Railway on behalf to VGN Norderstedt (HVV Line A2) and is mostly double-tracked. Since 1996 the southern section is part of the Hamburg U-Bahn network (Line U1). It is doubled throughout and electrified at 750 V DC via a third rail.
The description Alster Northern Railway (Alsternordbahn) is still commonly used for this route. The name originates from the river Alster which flows into the river Elbe in Hamburg.
