Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum

The Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen is a railway museum situated south of the city of Bochum in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

[1] It was founded by DGEG, the German Railway History Company in 1977 and is based in a locomotive depot that was built between 1916 and 1918 and ceased operation in 1969.

The exhibits are looked after by 130 mainly voluntary employees, who are also involved in the museum railway services where they wear historical uniforms.

For example, a large part of the railway scenes in the film "Das Wunder von Bern" took place in Dahlhausen.

When there is steam service on the Ruhrtalbahn (usually every first Sunday of a month), the Uerdingen railbus operate another abandoned railway, the Teckel from Hagen to Ennepetal Klutert cave.
