    Overview:

    This is a short, single track unnelectrified German branch line running between, you guessed it, Immenstadt and Oberstdorf. The route is about 12 miles (20 kilometers), making runs pretty quick. What makes this route unique is the fact that it can quickly go from being in the center of towns, to in the middle of fields and forests, a lot like Niddertalbahn.

    Rolling Stock:

    The two main trains that run on the route are the DB BR 612 (which is already in the game) and the DB BR 633. Additionally, Intercity services are operated with the DB BR 218.

    Timetable

    As you can probably imagine, it’s a pretty quiet route. There are two Intercity services a day, and three different Regional Express services every two hours. RE 17 and 76 services are operated by the 612, and RE 75 services are operated by the 633. I was unable to find any information on freight, but I can imagine a few locals and switching services take place with the DB BR 363 and G6.

    Conclusion:

    Although it’s nothing crazy, this route could potentially be a good, cheap German route. Due to how short it is, something around the 20-25$ range would make sense.

    Wow for once I didn’t suggest an absurdly long route

    Would be much better if it was Lindau - Kempten - Oberstdorf.
