    You can see the old ballast bed of the former Frankfurt-Würzburg railway line, which has since been relocated and rebuilt. 😀

      “Traces” of the old route are still visible.

        With the decommissioning of the Spessartrampe and the Schwarzkopf tunnel on June 15, 2017, the 163-year history of the old Heigenbrücken station came to an end.

        A shorter route with only a slightly reduced gradient (21 instead of 21.7 per thousand) has been gradually put into operation since June 19, 2017.

        From June 15 to 19, 2017, the new Spessartrampe was linked to the existing network as part of a total closure and the new Heigenbrücken stop was put into operation.
