The Stauden Railway (German: Staudenbahn) is a railway line through the Stauden (hence the name), the southern part of the Augsburg-Westerwald Nature Park (in the districts of Augsburg and Unterallgäu, Bavaria, Germany). The line was built from 1908 to 1912 and had a length of 42.4 kilometres (26.3 mi). One section (Ettringen – Markt Wald) was closed in 1983 because of low passenger numbers and the poor state of the track. The line from Türkheim to Ettringen is used by the factory Lang Papier. The section from Markt Wald to Gessertshausen is only used by an excursion train association. Every second Sunday a diesel fuel train runs from Augsburg Hbf to Markt Wald.

Future

With the discussion about the suburban railway Augsburg there is a railway line planned to the planned station Langenneufnach Süd. Furthermore, the passenger traffic from Augsburg to Bad Wörishofen should be recommissioned.
