All Clear
One of the big attractions of the Allgäubahn is the relatively clear trackside, free of the jungle that blights many lines. The reason can be seen here, at Heimhofen, east of Röthenbach, on 2 October 2014. Local farmers cut the grass right up to the edge of the ballast to make silage for their cattle, preventing the usual scrub from becoming established.223.013 headed west with ALX84144, the 09:19 from München to Lindau.
