Opening Run 2018

Written by dzirpel
Created: 14 October 2018

It was not until today, October 14th, 2018, that our 'Opening Run' of this year's season could take place. The reasons for this were construction works of "DB Netz" on the Agger line of RB25 betwen Dieringhausen and Osberghausen, where the Wiehltalbahn line branches. Among other things, the railway bridge in Osberghausen across the Agger brook needed to be replaced.

Wiehltalbahn Runs As Far As Waldbröl

Written by Detlef Zirpel
Created: 23 October 2018

Back in April 2017 we had reported that in Denklingen a factory unit had been erected too close to the Wiehltalbahn track. Thus, for the foreseeable future no passenger trains were allowed to run as far as Waldbröl for safety reasons.
 
Meanwhile, we have made good progress towards the resumption of passenger traffic as far as Waldbröl. By now, the legal proceedings that had to be initiated in this regard could be settled amicably.

First Steam Train Trips On the Wiehl Valley Line In 2018

Written by dzirpel
Created: 12 October 2018

The renovation works of the DB on the railway bridge across the Agger brook at Osberghausen have been finished recently.

Unfortunately, the subsequent works around the construction site took longer than anticipated, so that the Wiehl Valley Line (branching from the DB Agger line next to the rebuilt DB bridge) could still not be used in early September, as originally planned.
 
In the meantime, the construction works affecting to the area of the Wiehltalbahn have now been finished. We have got the commitment that our line will be accessible again from mid of October onwards.
