The rattling and steaming continued for seventy years. Past Lake Röhrensee, along a embankment, and over a bridge that now serves as a cycle path between the old town and the city center, the train ran twice an hour from Bayreuth to Hollfeld and Thurnau. It ended in 1974. The trains were actually supposed to travel much further: from the Fichtel Mountains to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. But that never came to pass. Among other things, because the train journey over many hills and through many curves proved to be not particularly fast.

An anecdote can be read on an information board mounted under the railway bridge at Lake Röhrensee. According to the story, the train moved so slowly at Mistelgau at the latest that schoolchildren would get out and walk alongside the train. And when the wheezing locomotive stopped at Obernsees to refuel, a restaurant waitress would usually be standing by the tracks with beer glasses. The driver would previously signal the number of drinks requested by blowing his whistle.
