Plochingen–Immendingen Railway
The Plochingen–Immendingen railway is a main-line railway line in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It runs from Plochingen via Horb am Neckar to Immendingen, following the upper reaches of the Neckar from Plochingen to Neckartailfingen and from Kirchentellinsfurt to Rottweil, and finally the Danube from Tuttlingen to the end of the line. It was therefore also historically known as the ''Obere Neckarbahn'' (Upper Neckar Railway) or the ''Obere Neckartalbahn'' (Upper Neckar Valley Railway). The Rottweil-Immendingen section used to be called the ''Obere Donaubahn'' (Upper Danube Railway) or ''Obere Donautalbahn'' (Upper Danube Valley Railway). The Plochingen–Tübingen section is now sometimes known as the ''Neckar-Alb-Bahn'' (Neckar-Alb Railway), the Tübingen–Horb section as the ''Kulturbahn'' (Culture Railway), the Horb–Tuttlingen section as part of the '' Gäubahn'' (Gäu Railway) and the Tuttlingen–Immendingen section as the ''Donaubahn'' (Danube Railway).

15 KV AC Railway Electrification
Railway electrification using at are used on transport railways in Rail transport in Germany, Germany, Rail transport in Austria, Austria, Rail transport in Switzerland, Switzerland, Rail transport in Sweden, Sweden, and Rail transport in Norway, Norway. The high voltage enables high power transmission with the lower frequency reducing the losses of the traction motors that were available at the beginning of the 20th century. Globally, railway electrification in late 20th century tends to use 25 kV AC railway electrification, AC systems which has become the preferred standard for new railway electrifications. Nevertheless, local extensions of the existing network is commonplace. In particular, the Gotthard Base Tunnel (opened on 1 June 2016) uses 15 kV, 16.7 Hz electrification. Due to high conversion costs, it is unlikely that existing systems will be converted to despite the fact that this would reduce the weight of the on-board step-down transformers to one t ...
