The Wutach Valley Railway (German: Wutachtalbahn) is a railway line in southern Germany that mostly follows the Valley of the river Wutach and partly the border between the German state of Baden-Württemberg and the Swiss canton of Schaffhausen. It links the town of Waldshut-Tiengen on the High Rhine Railway (Hochrheinbahn) with Immendingen on the Black Forest Railway (Schwarzwaldbahn). Because of the twisting route of its central section, it is popularly known as the Sauschwänzlebahn (lit.'pigtail line').
