[6] The first official trial run on the Schorndorf–Gmünd section of the Rems line was held on 29 June 1861 in a festive atmosphere with great general interest.

North of the main tracks, two locomotive sheds were demolished in order to build the new freight yard.

The second track of Rems line was being extended from Deinbach block post to Gmünd and this was put into operation on 27 April 1910.
