The Autozug Sylt is a car shuttle train connecting the isle of Sylt with the mainland of Germany. The train is one of two shuttle operators carrying trucks and cars over the Hindenburg Dam across Wadden Sea, between the loading terminals at Niebüll station and Westerland (Sylt) station. The train service was started by Railroad Development Corporation in 2016, to compete with the existing DB AutoZug service on the same route.

Initially pricing began at €25‒€45 per direction, with a plan of seven round-trips per day.

By September 2025 the service had transported two million vehicles.

Vehicles drive on to flat wagons, each of which is specially adapted with emergency brakes, speakers, and fire extinguishers. From 2018 work started on readying an additional fleet of 42 transport wagons, which were approved for service starting in June 2019.
