    The decommissioning of the Spessartrampe and the Schwarzkopf Tunnel on June 15, 2017, marked the end of the 163-year history of the old Heigenbrücken station.

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