Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt–Aalen railway

The Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt–Aalen railway, also known as the Remsbahn or the Remstalbahn, was historically the main line route from Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt via Aalen to Nördlingen. Today the designation Rems Railway only refers to the section from Stuttgart to Aalen, the Aalen–Nördlingen line becoming part of the Ries Railway. Between Waiblingen and Essingen the Rems line runs parallel to the River Rems from which it gets its name. The Deutsche Bahn timetable incorporates the Stuttgart–Aalen section as part of route no. 786 Stuttgart–Aalen–Crailsheim–Nuremberg and the Stuttgart–Schorndorf section as part of route no. 790.2-3.

The line is fully electrified and the western section from Stuttgart to Schorndorf is part of the Stuttgart S-Bahn.
