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.
I can’t yet find any information about passenger services but the line and a lot of the yard seemed to be well used so I’ll have to keep looking for information. We are on the edge of Hohenzollerische Landesbahn territory so this may be a freight interchange with DB. I’ll try and find out more and let you know about it as soon as I discover something.
Looking at Google maps, in Hechingen just north of station and yard it appears there’s a track entering tunnel just below intersection of Im Etzental and Steinbeins(street).
