German rail Black Forest mainline?
Author: LV95032

Looks like quite a number of passenger trains on this line. Is it passenger only?
Are there scenic locations that are accesible? Visiting in July.

Its also freight. Its quite scenic with horse shoe curves and a miriad of tunnels in the central portion between Hausach and St. Georgen. Was a great show in steam time with helpers, but it has been electrified for quite a while. I certainly would recommend a train ride between the two locations mentioned above, it was an engineering marvel at the time it was built. The line itself is accessible in some places by car, but the nicest places can be reached only by hicking. It has been a few decades since I was there and it is likely that the right of way has been grown in (typical in many European countries), so many of the famous photo spots might be grown in....
