Forest railway
In addition several routes, such as the Hengersberg-Kalteneck and Vilshofen-Aidenbach lines, were dismantled. As a result, in the area of Passau the only lines remaining that are available for specials are the Bavarian Forest railway (the "Waldbahn"), with its branch to Hengersberg, the Vilshofen-Blindham railway and the "Rottalbahn".
