Rolling stock

trains on the Heilbronn–Crailsheim route are mainly operated with diesel multiple units of classes 642 and 628. Once a day a Regional-Express service runs from Heilbronn to Öhringen, composed of double-deck coaches hauled by a class 146 locomotive. As the Heilbronn–Öhringen-Cappel section of the Hohenlohe Railway is electrified, the operation of trains stopping at all stations trains is divided into two sections: the Heilbronn–Öhringen-Cappel section is operated with Karlsruhe Stadtbahn electric multiple units of class GT8-100D/2S-M. This line is operated by the Heilbronn Stadtbahn. On the Öhringen Hbf–Schwäbisch Hall-Hessental section diesel multiple units of classes 642 and 628 are used.
