History

Spaichingen station was opened on 15 July 1869 with the Rottweil–Tuttlingen section of the extension of the Upper Neckar Valley Railway (Obere Neckarbahn), connecting Stuttgart, Plochingen, Tübingen, Horb and Rottweil. On 28 May 1928, Spaichingen became a railway junction with the opening of the Heuberg Railway to Reichenbach (Heuberg), 15 years after its groundbreaking ceremony. Until the line was closed in 1966, it connected Heuberg with Spaichingen, the seat of the Württemberg district (Oberamt) until its abolition in 1938. The station is situated on the southern edge of Spaichingen at 676 metres above sea level. It is located near Spaichingen Hauptstraße (main street), part of Bundesstraße 14. Spaichingen has three platform tracks for passenger services. In 1957, the station had a staff of 19 people.[3] The station building is now unoccupied. Originally the station was 445 metres long and up to 74 meters wide. The complex included an office building and a goods shed,[4] which was used as such until 1976 and demolished in 2011.

Rail services

Spaichingen is only served by regional services. The Regional-Express service from Stuttgart to Singen stops there. Moreover, Spaichingen is served by the Ringzug, which connects the town to Bräunlingen via Rottweil, Villingen and Donaueschingen. In the opposite direction, Blumberg-Zollhaus on the Swiss border can be reached via Tuttlingen and Immendingen.

From December 2017, Intercity services will operate on the Stuttgart–Hattingen railway (Gäubahn) hourly between Stuttgart and Zurich. Every second Intercity will stop in Spaichingen station, replacing the Regional-Express services that currently operate every two hours between Stuttgart and Singen.

gollark: I wonder what you would see if you plugged the stacking HDMI cables into a TV. Probably not much, as there's no chance they're sending the data as actual video or whatever, but it might do something.
gollark: HDMI cables? Who thought *that* was a good idea?
gollark: EBay for whatever country.

gollark: If dual socket is cheap enough, why not.
