Goldshöfe–Crailsheim railway

The Goldshöfe–Crailsheim railway (also known in German as the Obere Jagstbahn—Upper Jagst Railway) is a line from Goldshöfe to Crailsheim in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is part of the route of InterCity services between Karlsruhe and Nuremberg and is single-track and electrified. The line follows the course of the upper Jagst river, which it is named after. The prefix distinguishes it from the Lower Jagst Railway (Unteren Jagstbahn), which is the Bad Friedrichshall–Osterburken section of the modern Franconia Railway (Frankenbahn).
