The tracks are now quite overgrown, but the former route of the railway line is still visible.

The Jagst Valley Railway was operated as a single-track narrow-gauge railway (750 mm gauge) until 1988. It was 39.2 km long and ran from Möckmühl to Dörzbach along the Jagst.
Attempts to revive it as an excursion and tourist railway failed because some towns along the railway rejected renovation as it would be too expensive and too complex.

As I walked by, I asked myself what kind of train it was that ended at once, some of it broken off towards Jagst.
