Palm Express, Rideable miniature railway in Palmengarten, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Palmen-Express railway tracks extend for 650 meters through the northern and western sections of the Palmengarten botanical gardens in Frankfurt.
The original electrical railway system installed in 1881 operated at 7 kilometers per hour on a 550-millimeter gauge track in the eastern part of Palmengarten.
The 2012 train design replicated the appearance of an 1884 Frankfurt-Offenbach electric tram, connecting visitors to the region's transportation heritage.
The miniature train system accommodates 60 passengers across multiple carriages, operating from two terminal stations with a wooden depot building.
The railway system underwent a 2-million euro modernization program to enhance passenger comfort before its permanent closure in September 2021.
