Train Thur Doller Alsace, Heritage railway and museum in Haut-Rhin, France
Train Thur Doller Alsace is a heritage railway and museum in Haut-Rhin that operates between Cernay Saint-André and Sentheim. The 12-kilometer line passes through forested valleys with restored stations and period structures along the route.
The railway was built in the late 1800s to connect villages and support local trade in the Alsatian valleys. It represents the industrial growth of the region and its role in linking rural communities to markets and resources.
The railway displays locomotives and vintage carriages that show how trains shaped travel and commerce in this region. You can observe how the machines and vehicles evolved as the line grew and served local communities.
Trains run mainly on Sundays from June through September, with extra services added during summer months. Plan in advance since capacity is limited and the route passes through winding valley passages with narrow curves.
On certain days visitors can explore a reconstructed military installation recalling the period after 1945. This additional display shows a different chapter of regional history beyond the railway itself.
