Around 1890, the station facilities in Stuttgart were overloaded again.
To remedy the situation, through freight traffic was moved out of the city.
This involved the building of the freight bypass railway between Untertürkheim and Kornwestheim and marshalling yards at both ends.
This required the railway tracks at Untertürkheim to be moved closer to the Neckar.
Another marshalling yard was built at the junction of the Black Forest Railway with the Northern Railway at Stuttgart North station (then called Prag station), which could be used by traffic to and from the Black Forest Railway.
A locomotive depot and a new passenger station were also built there.
A residential area was built in Prag for rail workers; its street names still refer to notable figures in the history of the railways.
