DMU at Durlesbach

611.006 and an unidentified companion sped past the closed station at Durlesbach on IRE 3052, the 18:05 Ulm - Basel service, on the evening of 5 May 2017.

Durlesbach station stands in splendid isolation in the middle of the Schussentobel, the remote scenic valley that the line follows south of Aulendorf. The station was closed in 1984 but the building survives, serving as a cafe during peak hiking periods. A Polish narrow-gauge 0-8-0 and two coaches are plinthed next to the station building despite there never having been any narrow gauge here.
