Schwenningen (Neckar) station is one of two stations in Villingen-Schwenningen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The other is Villingen (Schwarzwald). Schwenningen owes its connection to the railway to Johannes Bürk, who had demanded a route through Schwenningen to promote the local watch industry, which included his own factory. The original plans involved a route through Niedereschach. The station is located at the Neckar, south of central Schwenningen. It is located at 695 metres (2,280 feet) above sea level on the Rottweil–Villingen railway. Originally the station was 540 metres (1,770 feet) long and up to 56 metres (184 feet) wide. The complex included a station building and a goods shed.The station promoted the economic boom of Schwenningen as an industrial city. The watch industry attracted workers from far away, some from the Stuttgart area. That explains why 436,410 passengers were counted in 1907, as Schwenningen had developed from the village into a city by that time.

Trossingen station
Trossingen station

Trossingen station (formerly Trossingen Staatsbahnhof—"state station") is a station that serves Trossingen, but is located in the municipality of Deißlingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Its name in German, Trossingen Bahnhof, rather than Bahnhof Trossingen, indicates that it serves Trossingen, but it is not in it. The Trossingen Railway (Trossinger Eisenbahn, Trossingen station–Trossingen Stadt railway) branches off the Rottweil–Villingen railway off here and connects the city to the railway network. The station is at 644 metres above sea level between Dauchingen, Deißlingen, Trossingen and Villingen-Schwenningen near the intersection of autobahn 81 and federal highway 27. Trossingen station is served by Regional-Express services operated by Deutsche Bahn. It is also served by Ringzug services operated by Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL). Some of these trains are divided at Trossingen station, with one section running on the Rottweil–Villingen line and the other section running to Trossingen Stadt. HzL also offers rides on historic railcars, which once operated over the line to Trossingen Stadt. The former two-storey entrance building contained a main hall and an apartment. It was built from tuff and has remained largely unchanged to this day. It is built in the former building style that was designated as construction type group 1 (Bautyp Gruppe 1). The building is a listed building, but is no longer used as an entrance building. Today's platforms are located about one hundred metres to the east.
