Dahn Süd
AVG Railcar VT452 at Dahn Süd with a service from Bundenthal-Rumbach, the terminus of the Wieslauterbahn, to Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof. The railcar was built by Maschinenfabrik Esslingen in 1958 for the Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebs-Gesellschaft (DEBG). The AVG (Albtal Verkehrs Gesellschaft - a railway company owned by the city of Karlsruhe) acquired it in 1994 along with the Kraichtal and Katzbachtal lines (Ubstadt to Menzingen and Bruchsal to Odenheim respectively). It remained in regular service until 2000 and was restored to its original condition in 2009/10. When we first visited Dahn, in 1992, there were no passenger services on the Wieslauterbahn. Regular services were re-introduced in 1997, but only on Sundays and public holidays. Since then this has increased to include Saturdays and Wednesdays.
