The Stauden Railway (German: Staudenbahn) is a railway line through the Stauden (hence the name), the southern part of the Augsburg-Westerwald Nature Park (in the districts of Augsburg and Unterallgäu, Bavaria, Germany). The line was built from 1908 to 1912 and had a length of 42.4 kilometres (26.3 mi). One section (Ettringen – Markt Wald) was closed in 1983 because of low passenger numbers and the poor state of the track. The line from Türkheim to Ettringen is used by the factory . The section from Markt Wald to Gessertshausen is only used by an excursion train association. Every second Sunday a diesel fuel train runs from Augsburg Hbf to Markt Wald.
Future[]
With the discussion about the suburban railway Augsburg there is a railway line planned to the planned station Langenneufnach Süd. Furthermore, the passenger traffic from Augsburg to Bad Wörishofen should be recommissioned.
