Eisenbahnmuseum Radevormwald-Dahlhausen, Railway museum in Dahlhausen, Radevormwald, Germany.
The Eisenbahnmuseum Radevormwald-Dahlhausen holds a collection of historic steam locomotives, carriages, and railway equipment displayed around a preserved station building on the Wuppertalbahn line. The site allows visitors to see the vehicles up close and walk through spaces that once served everyday travelers and freight transport.
The station building was built in 1886 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft and now stands as a protected monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Wuppertalbahn was crucial for moving people and goods through the Bergisch region, and its infrastructure was later opened to the public as a museum.
A local community of railway enthusiasts keeps the station alive by organizing special train trips and sharing stories about the region's transport past. Visitors can feel how important this connection was for daily life in the valley communities around Wuppertal.
The site is easy to navigate with open spaces for viewing the locomotives and carriages at your own pace. It is best to allow time for wandering and examining the details of the machines, as there is much to discover in and around the preserved vehicles.
The steam locomotive DR 52 8086 sits permanently at the museum as a tangible example of the engineering that powered regional trains across the Bergisch region. Visitors can examine its visible mechanics and structure in ways that rarely happen with preserved machines elsewhere.
