2nd Railway Festival Nördlingen
From Thursday, May 18th to Sunday, May 21st, 2023, the 2nd Railway Festival Nördlingen will take place in the Bavarian Railway Museum. This weekend, the Nördlingen depot will come to life again as the place where historical locomotives are used. Let's experience together how railway operations worked in the past.
The active members of the Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum e.V. look forward to your visit!
Exhibition and operation – a unique combination
In the surroundings of the historic facilities of the Nördlingen museum depot, the exhibits are presented in changing configurations and the operational locomotives are demonstrated in service. Observe the staff when shunting the exhibits and preparing the special trains. Watch the locomotive crews up close as they restore the locomotives ("restoring" includes topping up the locomotive supplies with water and coal, and greasing the bearings and slagging out). revive times past.
As a special experience, we offer the opportunity to acquire an honorary locomotive driver's license (minimum age 18 years) for an additional charge: Learn the basics of operating a steam locomotive in the driver's cab and finally drive independently within the grounds under expert guidance.
In expert guided tours you will learn a lot of interesting facts about the facilities, the vehicles and our association.
A ride in the historic steam train
Experience the fascination of railways - for us, that doesn't just mean looking! Rather, we want to convey what traveling used to be like and how it worked. That's why we're offering shuttle trips in the historic steam train between Nördlingen and Donauwörth and Nördlingen and Gunzenhausen this weekend.
