History
The first rail line in Nordstetten was the section between Eulerstraße and Industriestraße, which was built as 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,[1] 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 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 Have Idea in cooperation with 1F616EMO.
The line along 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 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 as factories were built. Freight transportation along the line started on 9 November 2024.
