The mystery railway: goods sidings at left, Station building at right.
So I was riding happily through the Neckar valley and suddenly without warning I come across this station in a tiny hamlet called Eyach with a fair bit of track work, yard, and a branch line going off to Haigerloch (yet another unspoilt and undiscovered German village) and Hechingen.
