Crailsheim is an important junction between the Nürnberg to Heilbronn main line and cross country routes north to Lauda and south to Aalen. In the summer of 1974 the shed still had a large steam allocation but the diesel usurpers were already present and a visit on Sunday 1st September that year found only a handful of locos in steam, including one of the last-built class 50s, 053 089.
