Chemin de fer touristique du Rhin, Heritage railway in Volgelsheim, France.

The Chemin de fer touristique du Rhin operates steam trains along a 12-kilometer route between Volgelsheim and Marckolsheim near the Rhine River.

The railway began operations in 1959, followed by the formation of a dedicated preservation association in 1982 to maintain the historical rolling stock.

Twenty volunteer members maintain and operate the railway equipment, conducting guided tours of the preserved railroad machinery at the Volgelsheim depot.

Train services run from May through September on weekends and holidays, with departures at 3:00 PM and returns at 4:50 PM for train-only journeys.

The collection includes locomotive 030TB130, one of three remaining engines from the former Elsaß-Lothringen network of the German Empire period.
