New momentum for the Krebsbachtalbahn: Construction should finally start!

planned reactivation and electrification

The planned expansion of the route between Hüffenhardt and Neckarbischofsheim could be crucial for regional passenger transport. A new three-kilometer-long rail strand is created to connect to the existing northast of the Heilbronner Stadtbahn, as it is read in a report by jack-news.de is. At the moment, the route is only used for occasional excursions with historical trains, which should now change through the reactivation.

However, there are also disappointing news for the municipalities of Hüffenhardt and Siegelsbach: The connection of Babstadt to these places remains excluded from rail transport, which permanently decoupled them. For the overdue planning steps, 6.2 million euros are initially estimated, with the district and the city of Bad Rappenau to take over 1.5 million euros each. In Bad Rappenau, the expansion was only decided after an intensive debate in the municipal council after the citizens initiated a petition.
