Marktschorgast railway station
Station building of Marktschorgast, located on the line Hof–Kulmbach–Lichtenfels (km 81,1). Marktschorgast is the upper ending of the Schiefe Ebene (literally: "inclined plane"), a ramp that climbs 157.7 metres over a distance of 6.8 kilometres and therefore has an average incline of 23‰. In past days this grade was popular to railfans due to the steam traffic. Photo taken 2009-03-18. Photo: Steffen Mokosch (Steffen.Mokosch@web.de)
