At the end of the 19th century, Gerolzhofen was connected to the Bavarian railway network. In 1893 the Kitzingen-Gerolzhofen section of the so-called Steigerwaldbahn (also Untere Steigerwaldbahn) was completed and Gerolzhofen was equipped with a train station. The branch line was extended from 1903 to Schweinfurt Hauptbahnhof. This made it one of the longer branch lines in Germany. Traffic on the route began to be reduced in the 1980s. In 1981 only passenger buses ran between Gerolzhofen and Kitzingen, and freight traffic was abandoned in mid-2006. There have been initiatives to reactivate passenger traffic on the closed route for a long time. At the beginning of 2019, a fierce dispute broke out that has continued to this day about how the Steigerwaldbahn should be put back into operation, which became a political issue. (Wikipedia)

Looks a bit enchanted, so on the side of the road. Looks a bit inconspicuous in bad weather. But it's worth taking a closer look.
