Led by Reichsrat Aretin they decided, to send a petition to the Royal Bavarian State Government in Munich.

Once again they submitted a resolution to the Royal Ministry of Transport in Munich for building this 12.5 kilometre long route and offered financial support.

On 16 March 1896, after planning had been completed, land purchased, the donated real estate from Aidenbach and Vilshofen acquired, profitability calculated and many other processes concluded, the Royal Bavarian State Railways in Munich gave permission for the construction of the line.

The goods-only stop of Taferl at kilometre marker 4.0, with it extensive industrial railway system (Feldbahn), acted as a transhipment site for the adjacent granite works and was served daily by goods trains.

On 12 October 1961 the railway division responsible, the Bundesbahndirektion Regensburg, started moves for withdrawing passenger services; this was finally agreed by their management on 18 July 1962 and the Federal Transport Minister on 14 September 1962.

Admittedly, since the cessation of granite transportation, the trains carried little else but agricultural produce, but this was so much in demand, that the Deutsche Bundesbahn decided in 1985, to continue maintaining the track which, in places, was in very poor condition.

Because the transportation of sugar beet had amounted to over half the annual revenue, in spring 1987 steps were taken to close the line entirely.
