After the closure Only a short section of the railway line remained in the city of Bad Neustadt to serve the rail connection of the adjacent industrial plant of BSH Hausgeräte. In the early 1990s, an asphalted footpath and cycle path was laid on 16.1 kilometers of the former railway line - not in Bad Neustadt and in Schönau - which forms the majority of the Brendtal cycle path. In 2010 and 2011, several wooden bridges were replaced by concrete bridges. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Bad_Neustadt%E2%80%93Bischofsheim

The Bad Neustadt–Bischofsheim railway line in Lower Franconia led from the district town of today's Rhön-Grabfeld district to the small town of Bischofsheim an der Rhön, which had around 1,300 inhabitants around 1900. It was popularly known as the Bischofsheimer Bähnle (in Grabfeld dialect, Böschamer Böhle). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Bad_Neustadt%E2%80%93Bischofsheim
