The most spectacular remnant of the Schiltach-Schramberg railway line is probably the upper station bridge, which has been maintained by the city of Schiltach, and has been the Schiltach railway point since 2014, where a VT 98.9 rail bus with control and trailer cars stands on the branch of the railway line. A station-like situation with a roof was created. Together with the old signal box and the actual upper station bridge, the whole thing constitutes a small museum. In 2013, the vehicles (798 726, 996 742 and 998 094) were overhauled in Duisburg. [5] The upper station bridge is a rarity as a parallel girder bridge with an underlying roadway and double framework made of metal. In southern Germany, this type of construction can only be found here. There are five larger examples of this type, but the bridge here is the only one that has remained unchanged and in the original.

The history of the Schiltach railway is depicted on a remnant of the former railway line to Schramberg. A particularly eye-catcher is an exemplary restored rail bus. Not only interesting for railway enthusiasts.
