- ^ According to Die Eisenbahn am Bodensee (EK-Verlag), passenger traffic was supposedly stopped on May 23, 1954. In the same book, however, there is a picture of a ready-to-go VT in Sigmaringen towards Radolfzell from 1958 and a book timetable for VT 98 Radolfzell – Sigmaringen, valid 1966. The 1963 summer timetable contains the Radolfzell – Sigmaringen route completely, so the route is not 1954, but was probably not "coped with" until 1969.
