The Schwarzbach Railway (German: Schwarzbachbahn) was a 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in) Saxon narrow gauge railway in Saxon Switzerland. It began in Goßdorf-Kohlmühle station on the Sebnitz Valley Railway and ran along the valley of the Schwarzbach to Hohnstein.
Overview
The line was opened in 1897 and closed and dismantled in 1951 in order to supply material for the Berlin Outer Ring.
Since 1995 the Schwarzbachbahn Society has endeavoured to rebuild a section of the line and run it as a museum railway. The former station ins Lohsdorf has been redecorated and new tracks laid there. The society has its headquarters in the station building at Goßdorf-Kohlmühle.
