Nothing has changed on the tracks since the last passenger train in 1983 and the last freight train in 1988. One is inclined to expect a train with a steam locomotive here ...

These are tracks of the Württemberg Black Forest Railway, a railway line from Stuttgart to Calw that was opened in 1872.
The Stuttgart – Weil der Stadt section was electrified in the 1930s and has been part of the Stuttgart S-Bahn network since 1978.
The section between Weil der Stadt and Calw, on the other hand, lost importance and was decommissioned in the 1980s. It is to be reactivated and used again as the "Hermann-Hesse-Bahn" from 2023.
