In 1911, the line from Busenbach to Ittersbach was electrified with single-phase AC at 8,000 volts 25 Hz (later increased to 8,800 volts).
Only after the take over of the BLEAG by The German Railway Operating Company (Deutsche Eisenbahn-Betriebs-Gesellschaft), DEBG) in 1932 were operations between Busenbach and Ittersbach resumed.
