context_page_description: The Fils Valley Railway designates the Württemberg line from Stuttgart via Göppingen to Ulm. It runs from Plochingen to Geislingen an der Steige through the Fils Valley.
context_section_description: All kinds of services run on the Fils Valley Railway.  While the Stuttgart-Plochingen section is integrated into the Stuttgart S-Bahn network, Regionalbahn services run on the eastern sections of the line. These run from Plochingen to Geislingen and Geislingen to Ulm, usually once an hour, utilizing Class 425 or Class 426 electric multiple units or Class 110/Class 143 locomotives hauling Silberling carriages.
  RegionalExpress (RE) trains run hourly between Stuttgart and Neu-Ulm (some continuing to Donauwörth), with additional hourly RE trains between Stuttgart Plochingen and Tübingen.  They are operated by double decker carriages hauled by Class 146.2 locomotives.  Some RE trains from Ulm continue through Stuttgart on the Franconia Railway to Mosbach-Neckarelz.
  InterRegioExpress Sprinter services operate between Stuttgart and Lindau, hauled by Class 146.2 locomotives to Ulm, or by two Class 218 diesel locomotives in order to pass the Geislinger Steige without a substantial loss of speed.
  ICEs usually run over the Filsbahn on an hourly basis, without stopping.  IC or EC trains generally also run hourly, stopping in Plochingen and Göppingen, and occasionally also in Geislingen an der Steige.  From the winter timetable change of 9 December 2007, EC services will be replaced by French TGV POS services between Paris and Munich.
  Several times per hour, sometimes heavy freight trains traverse the Fils Valley Railway, mostly consisting of mixed freight cars.  Every so often, single-commodity trains (Ganzzüge) utilize the line.
