Rhein-Haardtbahn: A century full of railway romance!

The Rhein-Haardtbahn, an important transport connection between Mannheim and Bad Dürkheim, looks back on a hundred years of history, which is characterized by passion and tradition. More than just a means of transportation, the train is an indispensable part of everyday life for many commuters, hikers and wine lovers. As ard-alpha , the train is not only used on festive occasions such as the sausage market or the Weinbergsnacht, but also by students and occupiers on its day-to-day way. With the takeover by Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH in 2005, the traditional name was somewhat pushed into the background, but the train remains a symbol for the connection between the regions of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate.

The gradual modernizations on the railway, such as new guidelines and the introduction of an express train, are groundbreaking. Current recordings published BKCW-Bahn pictures show the historical railcars 1019 and 1020 in various weather conditions.

It not only connects cities, but also generations of train lovers who appreciate the charm of this means of transport.
