Steam operation is planned on the following days in 2024 if the forest fire level is low enough. On all other days, we will only run our diesel trains.
From forest fire level 4, there will be NO steam locomotive operation. Changes may therefore be made at short notice. A 2-train operation with our diesel locomotives will then take place instead.
The current forest fire level according to DWD for Rhineland-Palatinate: DWD forest fire danger index. We are guided by the values of the Ruppertsecken, Bad Dürkheim and Kaiserslautern measuring stations. If even one measuring point reaches level 4 of the index, the danger is too high.
Please note that we do not accept any liability for dirt or damage to your clothing and equipment, especially when operating our steam locomotive.
Due to damage to our steam locomotive, we are unfortunately forced to cancel a few steam train days. We are working diligently on the repairs.
We will receive a small steam locomotive as a replacement for Pentecost! Our scheduled train days will be replaced with diesel trains.
Depending on the progress of the repairs and the weather, steam train excursions may resume as early as July and August. Please check back here regularly.
