Time travel in the special train: steam locomotive brings Bielefeld on rails of the 20s!

Bielefeld. The Bielefeld railway enthusiasts invite you to a nostalgic experience on Saturday, October 26: with a historical special train from the 1920s, you can take a journey into the past. The opportunity is available in the form of the "Bielefeld tours", which is carried out with an impressive steam locomotive.

The steam locomotive "38 2267", which is impressive 106 years old, will be the main actor of this trip. The journey begins at Bielefeld Central Station and leads over picturesque side routes that lead through the Lipperland and the heights of the Egleitbirge. In this way, passengers can also enjoy a breathtaking view from the Altenbeken Viaduct, one of the most famous buildings along the route.

experienced nostalgia with historical flair

The wagons used in the special train date between the 1920s and 1950s and thus offer different categories for passengers. The "upholstery class" is equipped with comfortable plush seats and is reminiscent of the leisurely atmosphere of "Grandma's sofa". If you like it a little easier, you will find a seat arrangement in the "light pad class" that resembles today's second class. For the real nostal cheats there is the "wood class", where it can be triggered on wooden benches.

Marco Riffelmann, the chairman of the Bielefeld railway fans, emphasizes that this locomotive is something very special: "It was built by the Henschel company in Kassel in 1918 and is the only operational locomotive of this kind." There is great interest, especially since the originally planned locomotive is not available due to maintenance work. This unique opportunity makes the legendary "P8" particularly attractive, since such locomotives had previously been active in Bielefeld for over four decades.

The first departure of the special train takes place on October 26 at 9:25 a.m. After the departure at Bielefeld main station, various approaches are offered in Herford, Location, Detmold and Altenbeken before the Paderborn Central Station is reached. The return trip takes place via the Sennahn with a stop in Hövelhof and Schloß. There are good opportunities to get out both and get out.

not only the impressive steam locomotive, but also a bistro car that ensures the physical well-being of the passengers.
