Märkische Museum Railway, Heritage railway between Herscheid and Plettenberg, Germany

The Märkische Museum Railway operates on a 2.3-kilometer track with a narrow gauge of 1000 millimeters through the Sauerland region of Germany.

Established in 1982, the railway society acquired vehicles from Juist and Spiekerooge island railways after their operations ceased, preserving regional railway heritage.

The railway maintains a collection of narrow gauge vehicles representing different historical railways, including the Kreis Altenaer Eisenbahn and Plettenberger Kleinbahn.

Visitors can experience train rides between Hüinghausen station and Köbbinghausen halt, following the path of the former Plettenberg-Herscheid railway line.

The railway preserves elements from the Harkort Coal Railway of 1830, which operated before the establishment of the Nuremberg-Fürth railway line.
