    The Wieslauftalbahn.
    Since 2010 she has been going back up to Welzheim. As a tourist attraction, you can comfortably chug the steam train to Welzheim on the weekends.

      Schorndorf Welzheim Rudersberg railway line
      The Wieslauftalbahn, also popularly known as the Wiesel, is a standard gauge branch line in Baden-Württemberg. The route begins in Schorndorf im Remstal, where it branches off the Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt-Aalen route, also known as the Remsbahn, first runs in the Wieslauf valley to Rudersberg and then leads - with a maximum gradient of 25 per mille - up to Welzheim.

      The Wieslauftalbahn is single-track and not electrified; however, it is only served between Schorndorf and Rudersberg-Oberndorf in the SPNV by the Württembergische Eisenbahngesellschaft (WEG). In the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS), this route is run as the R21 regional train line. Operations on the remaining section to Welzheim had been suspended since April 1988 due to a landslide, but the route was never formally shut down. Since May 2007 a reactivation with the aim of a museum railway operation has been sought, which finally came to a successful conclusion on May 8, 2010 with the arrival of the first steam-operated tourist train in Welzheim.

        Especially great when the historic train steams over it
