At 0:00 on 10 August 2026 DB InfraGO put into operation a system developed and approved together with Siemens that technically rules out meetings between passenger and freight trains in the tunnels of line 5919 (VDE 8.1) between Unterleiterbach and Erfurt Hbf. It identifies the train type automatically from the ETCS on-board unit, operations control systems and timetable data; this makes mixed operation possible on the high-speed line, where aerodynamic effects in the single-bore tunnels had so far meant that only passenger or only freight trains could run, and additional freight trains can now run especially in the shoulder hours and at night. For this, railway undertakings must accept path offers even in short-notice ad-hoc traffic; the reports give no investment cost.

DB InfraGO is acquiring the hitherto municipal Tegernsee-Bahn Betriebsgesellschaft, operator of the 12.4 km line from Schaftlach to Tegernsee; agreement has been reached with the existing shareholders (the municipality of Gmund, the town of Tegernsee and Miesbach district), and DB's management board has approved the purchase. The parties agreed to keep the details of the purchase confidential and no price is given; the 14 employees stay on in the company, which remains independent and will in future be run by DB RegioNetz Infrastruktur. DB intends to modernise the line with federal and state funds and to electrify it like the other Oberland lines, and train radio and signalling at Gmund and Tegernsee are also to be digitised; the previous operator lacked the staff and funds for this, and a report of 10 Oct 2025 had already speculated about a sale and named the end of the decade for electrifying the Oberland network.
