Georgensgmünd–Spalt railway
The Georgensgmünd–Spalt railway was opened on 16 October 1872 by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as a branch of the Nuremberg–Augsburg main line, after earlier plans to route the Ludwig South-North Railway from Lindau to Nuremberg via Gunzenhausen, Spalt and Georgensgemünd did not come to fruition. It was the second of the new category of light branch line, the so-called ''Vizinalbahnen'', to be built. The hop farmers of Spalt would initially oppose this due to fears about the steam locomotives affecting the quality of their world-famous hops.〔Aus der Spalter Heimat, Buchreihe des Heimatvereins Spalter Land, Folge 11〕 Later, however, when the railway had established itself as a means of transportation, the town of Spalt tried several times to have a connexion built to the railway at Georgensgemünd, but eventually had to pay 80,000 gulden for the line as required by the ''Vizinalbahn'' law.
== Construction ==
Between 1870 and 1872, Schmidt, a construction engineer from the Nuremberg Railway Construction Section, came up with a total of four possible routes, the first one eventually being selected. In comparison with the others this was the shortest route and the one that required the least structural work; thus it was also the most cost-effective. The town of Spalt also took measures to reduce the cost; for example, the 14 structures (bridges and culverts) were built of stone that came from demolishing the town walls. Almost three quarters of the route consisted of straight line and only six curves were needed. The smallest curve radius was 750 metres and the shortest distance between two opposing curves was 188.50 metres. The formation of the trackbed comprised natural loam and sand, only a short section had to cross marsh and was carried on a sand bed. Cuttings up to 3 metres deep in places were dug out and embankments up to 8.5 metres high were built up using sand and loam again. A total of about 120,000 cubic metres of earth was moved.
The rails, points and crossing were made of cast steel delivered by the firm of Späth from Nuremberg, two different profiles being used. Kilometre stones were made by a local stonemason for 50 kreuzer a piece, including delivery.
