The Wiesenttalbahn
Forchheim–Behringersmühle railway line
Finding a back story can be problematic, the profile must be a very small station in Oberfranken, preferably on the edge of Fränkische Schweiz, an area bounded by Nürnberg,
Bamberg und Bayreuth. The region is known for its exposed rocks, pretty
villages and scenery, add numerous venues for refreshment.
There are a number of branchlines, although many have been long closed, the line from Ebermannstadt to Behringersmühle is open as a museum railway, the DFS.
Only part of the Wisenttalbahn remains open, the line to Behringersmühle, which was at one time considered for a connection to the mainline at Pegnitz. Pottendorf
attempts to replicate the station near Pottenstein that would have been
the terminus of the abandoned extension to Pegnitz. It takes the
presumption a tad further, Pottendorf was re-opened by the DFS, they
used the once closed loco shed as their centre for engineering, it was
home to their Kof and KLV12.
