Driver’s Eye View - Dresden (Germany) - Part 1 - Radebeul-Radeburg Railway, (Lößnitzgrundbahn)

The Radebeul-Radeburg railway, one of Germany’s oldest narrow gauge railways is a 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) narrow gauge, steam operated line on the outskirts of Dresden, Germany, also known as the Lößnitzgrundbahn (Lössnitz Valley Railway) and locally nicknamed the Lößnitzdackel (Lößnitz Dachshund),.
Primarily a tourist attraction, the line maintains a year-round timetable between its main base at Radebeul East station adjacent to the Deutsche Bahn station on the main line between Dresden and Meissen. Scheduled traffic on the Radebeul to Radeburg line is maintained by Sächsische Dampfeisenbahngesellschaft mbH using steam locomotives built in the 1950s.
Older trains, using engines and carriages built in the late 19th and early 20th century, are maintained and operated by the non-profit Traditionsbahn Radebeul. Heritage trains can be seen in action on special event days.
Our train steams on towards Radeburg, crossing Dippelsdorf Lake on a causeway to reach Moritzburg, famous for its Baroque castle, Schloss Moritzburg. After a short stop at Moritzburg, we set off again passing next to Bärnsdorf Lake divided by a dam into the Upper and Lower ponds complete with a Lighthouse. After a brief halt at Bärnsdorf our train picks up speed, passing a series of picturesque villages as it traverses relatively flat farm land to reach the end of the line at Radeburg.
At 33:10 it has been pointed out to me that I’ve made a mistake, the Pond/Lake is not ‘Deutschbaselitzer Großteich’ as shown in the caption, it should read ‘Großteich’.
Track gauge - 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in)

This was another wonderful and beautiful trip I didn't want to see end. Glad their is a second part. Thank you Tim for sharing. You do a great job filming. And, you had a beautiful day. The train was awesome and beautiful too.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello, East Germany surprised me, I didn't think I'd see so many wonderful narrow gauge railways, mostly operating scheduled services, many with a steam locomotive up front. I look forward to sharing the rest of this series with you over the coming months🙂.

[@johne5854]

I love the steam sounds when the loco is idling in the station. Yet another great video.

Hi Tim! Another good video from the narrow gauge railway 👍. The 99er have a beautiful sound, I enjoyed it. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦🇹.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Hans, Dresden has a lot to offer people who are interested in railways, we visited three steam railways, all of which operated regular timetabled trains throughout the year, plus two Funicular railways and an excellent transport museum. It was January, so a lot of attractions weren't available such as the Dresden Park Railway, the Railway Museum and several other heritage railway centres. I'd love to return and spend a week or so visiting all the rail and transport centres in Dresden.

Travelled on this line many times, including in heavy snow where i was the only passenger and it was -17C. When it's frozen the locals skate on the lakes, even seen baby prams on skates! The 2-10-2T are kept in good nick though when it's cold driver keeps having to hammer the air pump as they jam! Great video.

[@geralldus]

Great video Tim, the lighting's lovely with the shadow of the loco. Watch it in 4K and the quality is fab! Interested by the tightness of the curves that the gauge and wheelbase of the loco are able to tolerate.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

I was lucky on the day with both the lighting and the help I received from the train crew. The wheels are tiny compared with main line locomotives allowing 10 driving wheels to be acomodated in a much shorter locomotive. The advantage is fast acceleration and the ability to negotiate tight curves with relative ease, the only down side is a lower top speed.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

@@dieterkind Thank you 👍.

[@richardmessenger9474]

That locomotive is in a fantastic condition....looks like it just came out the factory...👍👍

[@Timsvideochannel1]

All the steam locomotives I saw on this trip to East Germany looked as though they'd just been through the workshops and when I spoke to the workshop staff, it was clear that looking after these engines wasn't just a job, they were passionate about their locomotives.

Jaz sem doma iz Celja, kjer mejijo kar 4 lokalne narečne skupine in to le streljaj od mojega doma iz otroštva ob Savinji in je menda pri Starem Gradu. Vsa 4 narečja prepoznam, razumem, a jih ne znam ne govoriti, ne ločiti med seboj, kaj šele poimenovati. Za to je potreben doktorat iz ustrezne smeri jezikoslovja. Če ne bi gledal posnetkov oddaje RTV SLO, kjer sta o tem govorili kar 2 doktorici te znanosti, tega nikoli ne bi vedel. Tako kot skrivnosti egipčanskih piramid, ki so bile in ostajajo skrivnosti tudi za same Egipčane... Sicer pa izvidujem po YT, katere posnetke bom gledal, ko bo tipično aprilsko vreme z oblaki in dežjem, kar se je že začelo. Danes je bilo ob 7:30 0 stopinj celzija in led v samokolnici. Vreme pa je lepo in športam z razmeščanjem gnoja na majhni njivi na Primorskem, od koder je žena. Normo sem presegel že po 1 uri in 45 min, pa mi je ostalo vsaj še 20%. Moral sem si napolniti svojo športno uro in se spočiti. Zdaj pa nazaj. Jutri je spet napovedan dež. Lep pozdrav vsem. Me prav zanima, kaj bo Google prevedel tistim, ki ne znajo kripto jezika Slovenščine. Sem pa doslej že dobil odgovore na komentarje v slovenščini s Škotske (v angleščini) pa tudi iz Brazilije (celo v slovenščini, čeprav sta bila par, ki se vozi po Južni Ameriki z avtobusom, predelanim v avtodom, prava Brazilca, večino komentarjev pa v južnoameriški španščini in brazilski portugalščini)....

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hello Robert, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. There are a lot of reasons for visiting these railways at less popular times of the year, the most obvious being that the trains aren't crowded, but there is also the added advantage of being able to see more because there are no leaves on the trees. In an ideal world it would be nice to show the railway in all seasons.

Another lovely train ride through some beautiful countryside. Thanks, Tim. I'm wondering... that's a tank engine, isn't it? Which means that the noise for a minute whenever it stopped was probably a pump, forcing water from the tanks into the boiler to keep it topped up, yes?

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Hi, the camera picks up noises not normally heard from a seat in a carriage. The noise is probably the Westinghouse brake pump, although there is also a steam driven electricity generator fitted to these locomotives. Other sounds can also be heard, I know there is a water glass in the cab and it is the crews job to keep sufficient water in the glass, I'm guessing that requires a pump too.

[@passengersplace]

Since these German narrow-gauge steam lines still run a frequent year-round schedule with low fares, I wonder how many ordinary travellers they carry who aren't rail enthusiasts.

[@Timsvideochannel1]

Apart from the group I was travelling with, most passengers were locals using the train to get out into the countryside for a walk, or grandparents taking their grandchildren for a ride on the train. It was good to see everyone smiling and enjoying the experience.

[@coswiger]

The line is also used by school kids because Radebeul has some secondary schools the more rural area to the north is missing. As far as I know there's a special ticket for them. The normal fares have increased over the past years to keep the line active. Currently adults are charged nine Euros for the full one-way trip - rather medium than low but still attractive for the ordinary fellow.
