== History ==

The first rail line in Nordstetten was the section between {{stl|Nordstetten Light Rail|Eulerstraße}} and {{stl|Nordstetten Light Rail|Industriestraße}}, which was built as {{p|y5nw}} moved away from the island he originally settled on. The line was initially built with two separate tracks, each occupied by a single train: the eastbound track was occupied by a set of 01700 series train, and the westbound track was occupied by a train consisting of two gondola wagons,<ref>https://t.me/emo_minetest/3711</ref> the latter of which was (in addition to freight transportation) also used as a temporary storage. Both trains were eventually moved off the tracks as the line was later extended and opened to passenger service.

The line was extended to the south to {{stl|Nordstetten Light Rail|Wörther Straße}} in March 2024 as the city expanded. Line 1 was then opened and ran between Wörther Straße and Eulerstraße. The line was further extended to {{Station|Have Idea}} in cooperation with {{p|1F616EMO}}.

The line along [[Hagenauer Straße, Nordstetten|Hagenauer Straße]] was construted around the same time as the Wörther Straße station, although it only led to the [[Landauer Straße Rail Yard]] at the time. The extension to {{stl|Nordstetten Light Rail|Apfelbühl}} was built around August 2024 along with the [[Nordstetten Mainline]]. Line 1 was then rerouted to Apfelbühl. A connection between Apfelbühl and Eulerstraße was also built to avoid long traveling times, and Line 2 was opened along the Apfelbühl - Eulerstraße - Wörther Straße route.

The development of the city followed the construction of the line along Hagenauer Straße. In particular, a freight line was built along the parallel [[Seltzer Straße,Nordstetten|Seltzer Straße]] as factories were built. Freight transportation along the line started on 9 November 2024.
