The railway line Zell im Wiesental-Todtnau, where among other things this tunnel is located, was a 18.74 kilometers long private meter gauge narrow gauge railway from Zell im Wiesental to Todtnau. It was referred to as a continuation of the standard gauge Wiesentalbahn from Basel via Lörrach to Zell as Upper Wiesentalbahn. For the local population she was called Todtnauerli, in the spacious vernacular Todtnauerle. After the expiration of the concession, the state of Baden-Württemberg took over the route on 1 January 1953 and brought them into the Mittelbadische Eisenbahnen AG. The decline in traffic led to the closure of passenger traffic on September 25, 1966 and freight traffic on September 24, 1967. The tracks were completely dismantled. Today we mainly use the route as a bike path and also serves the annual Wiesental run from the meadow spring on Feldberg to Basel as part of the route.

Easy to reach. The light in the tunnel comes on via a sensor

If you still want to see the Todtnauerli*'s one-zero-five (105) in action, you just have to go to Switzerland.
As a museum railway, it continues to steam, you can hardly believe it, but it proves that mechanics ALWAYS work and can be repaired, not like the electronic junk of today (our descendants will experience it, there will no longer be any classic cars from today's times - that are drivable - simply , because the appropriate electronics (control units, circuit boards and the like) will no longer be available. So much for “progress.” And where is it all?

The 105 can be seen in action and in all its glory in several pictures!
