Railway Stations In Baden-Württemberg
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...

Geislingen (Steige) Station
Geislingen (Steige) station is located at the 61.3 kilometre point of the Fils Valley Railway in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Until May 2000, there was a connection for freight to Geislingen-Altenstadt, a remnant of the former railway to Wiesensteig. The station is served by intercity and regional services. History When Georg von Buhler and Carl Christian von Seeger originally planned a railway line from Stuttgart to Ulm, the connection through the Fils valley was in competition with a devious route along the Rems and Brenz valleys. They considered a climb over the Swabian Jura (''Schwäbischen Alb'') to be impossible. In the 1840s the ''Oberamt'' (district) seat of Geislingen had about 2,300 inhabitants. They lived mostly off the land or operated small businesses based on crafts. Less than one percent of them were employed in factories that were not indigenous to the area.
