One section (Ettringen – Markt Wald) was closed in 1983 because of low passenger numbers and the poor state of the track.

The line from Türkheim to Ettringen is used by the Lang Papier factory.

The section from Markt Wald to Gessertshausen is only used by an excursion train association.

Every second Sunday a diesel fuel train runs from Augsburg Hbf to Markt Wald.

Furthermore, the passenger traffic from Augsburg to Bad Wörishofen should be recommissioned.
