The Brügge–Lüdenscheid railway is a single-track, non-electrified branch line in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

However, during the First World War work was abandoned due to the high construction costs, although the earthworks had already been built through Herscheid.

From 1965 to September 1994 the Brügge–Lüdenscheid line and the Volme Valley Railway was served by push-pull trains consisting of class 212 diesel locomotives (stationed in Hagen) and two or three, mainly Silberling, carriages.

Today the line is served hourly by the Regionalbahn line RB 52 (Volmetal-Bahn), which runs from Dortmund to Lüdenscheid via Herdecke, Hagen and Schalksmühle,[3] and the RB 25 (Oberbergische Bahn), which runs from Köln Hansaring to Lüdenscheid via Cologne.

[4] In addition, since the late 1990s a proposal has been under consideration to build a station at Lüdenscheider Kreishaus to serve the large surrounding population.

However, because of the problems of the location (a site in a deep cutting or possibly with underground platforms), it would have very high costs.

A single track was laid on the northwestern edge of the station precinct along the existing street of Bahnhofallee and further up on the slope old Protestant cemetery.
