Our Trains

Westfalendampf is a "poor" association. We don't own locomotives and passenger carriages.

Your advantage:
We can offer you trips with different locomtives. So we have been travelling with the following historical engines: 01 150; 01 519; 01 533; 01 1066; 01 1075; 01 1102; 03 1010; 18 201; 23 071; 23 076; 24 009; 38 2267; 41 096; 41 360; 50 3655; 52 8134; 52 8148; 58 311; 78 468; 95 027; 99 5901; 99 5902; 99 72; Dampflok Borkum; Dampflok Haselünne; 103 222; E 10 278; E 18 047; E 42 151; 1142 704; 212 007; 215 082; 216 002; 216 105, 216 155, V 65 001; V 200 033; V 200 116; 221 135; V 320 001; VT 98 and some more...

The steam-Railways and Museums get money from us when we are using their locomotives and passenger cars.

Nun möchten wir Ihnen kurz einige "unserer" Fahrzeuge vorstellen, zunächst die Lokomotiven:

The steam locomotive 01.159 was originally built as 01.186 by Henschel&Sohn in Kassel in the year 1936. In 1963/64 the engine has been rebuild in Meiningen and got a new powerfull boiler. The engine got the new number 01.519, after 1970 it was 01.519-7 and stayed under service until 1982.

Then the engine was brought to Greifswald for heating the brewery and a hospital. This ended in 1988 and the Deutsche Reichsbahn began to destroy the engine.

The German reunification

In 1990 the Deutsche Reichsbahn needed a steam locomotive to pay for a Diesel-train which has been under service between Hamburg and Berlin. It was decided to rebuilt this engine.

Now the railway enthusiasts “Eisenbahnfreunde Zollernbahn e.V.” have the engine under service. In 2018 the engine will come to Northwest-Germany to Westfalendampf for the first time.

This steam locomotive (Pacific, 4-6-2) was built in 1940 and until 1945 it worked as a streamlined steam locomotive and drew passenger trains. After that period the streamline has been removed. In 1954 the engine got a new and very efficient boiler and since 1957 the engine is oil fired and so it has now 2470 horsepowers. The highest speed is 87 mph. In the year 1968 the engine got the new computer-number 012 066-7.

In May 1975 'our' 012 066-7 draw the last steam-hauled passenger train ('D-Zug') in West Germany for the "Deutsche Bundesbahn". In November 1975 the railway enthusiasts association "Ulmer Eisenbahnfreunde" bought the engine.

Westfalendampf has often used this engine for spectecular trips to Oberwesel (Rhine), Cochem (Rhine), Amsterdam, Hamburg, Linz (Rhine), Norddeich-Mole, Emden, Goslar and Wernigerode (Harz). The trains were heavy and had often 13 passenger cars.

In 1923 this steam engine was built in Kassel by the Henschel-locomotive company und stayed under service until 1969. The last depot was Hamburg.

78.468 got new paint and stayed in Hamburg for the History Museum of Hamburg. In 1999 the engine was sold and completely repaired in Meiningen. Since then it has made a lot of trips. At the moment the 78.468 also belongs to the railway museum "Eisenbahn-Tradition Lengerich". Westfalendampf uses the engine for regional trips.
