Driver’s Eye View - Dresden (Germany) - Part 1 - Radebeul-Radeburg Railway, (Lößnitzgrundbahn)

The Radebeul–Radeburg railway, one of Germany’s oldest narrow gauge railways is a 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in) narrow gauge, steam operated line on the outskirts of Dresden, Germany, also known as the Lößnitzgrundbahn (Lössnitz Valley Railway) and locally nicknamed the Lößnitzdackel (Lößnitz Dachshund),. Primarily a tourist attraction, the line maintains a year-round timetable between its main base at Radebeul East station adjacent to the Deutsche Bahn station on the main line between Dresden and Meissen. Scheduled traffic on the Radebeul to Radeburg line is maintained by Sächsische Dampfeisenbahngesellschaft mbH using steam locomotives built in the 1950s. Older trains, using engines and carriages built in the late 19th and early 20th century, are maintained and operated by the non-profit Traditionsbahn Radebeul. Heritage trains can be seen in action on special event days. Our train steams on towards Radeburg, crossing Dippelsdorf Lake on a causeway to reach Mo
