context_page_description: The Busenbach–Ittersbach railway is a line in the northern Black Forest in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The mostly single-track and continuously electrified line branches in Waldbronn-Busenbach from the Alb Valley Railway —with which it is closely linked operationally and historically—and runs as a branch line to Ittersbach. The Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft is responsible for the railway infrastructure and is the only company operating on the 14.4 kilometre-long line. Originally the Busenbach–Ittersbach railway was operated together with the Ittersbach to Pforzheim line, which later became the Pforzheim Light Railway. The whole line from Busenbach to Pforzheim was initially built to 1,000 mm metre gauge, later the section from Busenbach to Ittersbach was rebuilt to 1,435 mm standard gauge and the Pforzheim Light Railway was closed. The line has been operated as part of line S 11 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn since 1994.
context_section_description: The Ittersbach line has been served during the daytime every 30 minutes by line S 11 of the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn since 1994. Previously the service on both the line to Bad Herrenalber and to Ittersbach had been called line A. The trains to and from Ittersbach run over the Alb Valley Railway and continue through Karlsruhe and usually end on the Hardt Railway (Hardtbahn). In the peak hour additional express services are run. No freight traffic operates on the line.
  The platform height at most stations is 38 centimetres. Turning loops at Langensteinbach St. Barbara and Ittersbach Rathaus enable trains to be reversed. The whole line is operated under the regulations for operations applying to non-federally owned railways  (Fahrdienstvorschriften Nichtbundeseigenen Eisenbahnen, FV-NE). There is a depot in Ittersbach.
