Durch Neckarbischofsheim, Helmhof und Untergimpern verläuft die Krebsbachtalbahn.
Auf der Strecke verkehrt des Öfteren der sogenannte "Rote Flitzer" für nostalgische Fahren an Wochenenden. Es handelt sich dabei um einen Schienenbus aus dem Jahr 1961, der durch den Förderverein Schienenbus e.V. betrieben und unterhalten wird.
Der Streckenverlauf der Krebsbachtalbahn ist in grün eingezeichnet, der Streckenverlauf der Schwarzbachtalbahn in blau.

20.3.2024: Ende Februar 2024 hat die die Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft (AVG) die Krebsbachtalbahn von der Erms-Neckar-Bahn gekauft. Damit geht der Bahnverkehr auf der Strecke weiter. Noch soll die Strecke weiter zwischen Mai und Oktober für den Ausflugsverkehr genutzt werden, denn man stehe ganz am Anfang des Projekts, so Nicolas Lutterbach, ein Sprecher der AVG, weiter. Bis gebaut werden könne, würden sicher fünf bis sechs Jahre vergehen. Die Planung der Reaktivierung inklusive des Anteils Neubaustrecke zwischen Obergimpern und Bad Rappenau beginne noch in diesem Sommer.
Vor Augen habe man folgendes Ziel: Die Krebsbachtalbahn, die die Kreise Rhein-Neckar, Heilbronn und Neckar-Odenwald verbindet, soll zwischen Neckarbischofsheim-Nord (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis) und Bad Rappenau-Obergimpern (Kreis Heilbronn) für den regelmäßigen Personennahverkehr reaktiviert und elektrifiziert werden. Dadurch könnte das ÖPNV-Angebot in der Region weiter ausgebaut werden. Die AVG-Stadtbahnen könnten dann von Bad Rappenau über die Krebsbachtalbahn in Richtung Waibstadt (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis) fahren. Voraussetzung für die Realisierung des Projekts sei aber auch unter anderem noch ein entsprechender Auftrag durch das Land Baden-Württemberg, so Lutterbach weiter.
Der Gemeinderat Bad Rappenau (Kreis Heilbronn) hat im Herbst der Reaktivierung der Krebsbachtalbahn und dem Neubau einer Gleis-Strecke zugestimmt. Im Frühjahr hatte er beides noch abgelehnt - Kritiker hatten sich dagegen gewehrt.
Das Ziel: Die Strecke soll zukünftig nicht mehr nur mit dem Touristen-Bus "Roter Flitzer" befahren werden, sondern wieder werktags für Pendler Sinsheim (Rhein-Neckar-Kreis), Bad Rappenau und Bad Friedrichshall (beide Kreis Heilbronn) verbinden.[2].
28.10.2022: Nachdem das Bad Rappenauer Gremium (Kreis Heilbronn) die Reaktivierung der Krebsbachtalbahn und den Neubau einer drei Kilometer langen Gleis-Strecke im Frühjahr noch abgelehnte hatte, hat der Gemeinderat nun zugestimmt. Ein Bürgerbegehren hatte sich dafür eingesetzt.[3]
Die Befürworter erhoffen sich mit dem Projekt langfristig, dass vermehrt Pendler aus dem Krebsbachtal in Richtung Heilbronn das Angebot nutzen. Die Strecke sei attraktiv, weil Umsteigezeiten in Bad Rappenau von Bus auf Bahn wegfallen würden und es eine durchgehende Verbindung gebe, so Mitorganisator Jörg Haffelder im SWR. In Richtung Heidelberg gebe es eine Verbindung mit einem Umstieg in den Rhein-Neckar-Raum.
Die Elektrifizierung der Strecke, der Neubau eines drei Kilometer langen Verbindungsstücks und weitere Maßnahmen sollen bei rund 50 Millionen Euro liegen. Die Investition werde zwischen Bund und Land, dem Landkreis Heilbronn, dem Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Neckarbischofsheim und Bad Rappenau aufgeteilt. Die Betriebskosten will das Land tragen. Damit wäre die Krebsbachtalbahn auch an das Heilbronner Stadtbahnnetz angeschlossen.
