Historic Train Car on the Old Spessart Ramp

Wagon on the old route. You can take a closer look at it

A commuter wagon on the old railway line near Hain is also intended to show posterity the slope and course of the old "Spessart ramp". Here, in the former "Seebachtal" near Laufach-Hain, the leisure and information center "Railway Experience Spessart Ramp" is to be built for a total of around one million euros. On an area of almost 5,000 square meters, the adventure and information wagon, a rock trail, an adventure area and a tent and grill area are intended to bring the railway history in the Spessart community closer to visitors. The opening is planned for August 2021. (As of August 2020)

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.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spessartrampe
