History
Actually, a connection of the railway station Horn to the line of the Franz Josefs Bahn was planned, but was never realized due to objections by the population. Only when the economic upswing was recognized by the obvious enrichment along other railway lines, one strove also in Horn for a connection to the railway. Finally, in the course of the construction of the Kamptalbahn, a connection was created. When in the 1980s again and again the talk was to close the Kamptal line and thus also to close the passenger service, this could fortunately be successfully prevented - also by the commitment of the population.
