IG 3-Seenbahn

At certain dates all over the year the volunteers organize and operate vintage train rides on the Three Lakes Railway (Titisee – Seebrugg) and on the Höllentalbahn (Freiburg – Titisee – Donaueschingen) In 2008, Deutsche Bahn (DB) planned to demolish the abandoned former Seebrugg freight yard.

At this time, the station was largely in the state of the 1950s, so eight railway enthusiasts founded a society to save the tracks from being removed.

After they managed to stop the demolition and to buy the terrain from DB, they organized first steam train rides in August 2008, which were financed by ten communities near Seebrugg.

In 2011 the society started to raise money to renovate the old tracks, which were about 50 years old and in poor condition.

The districts of Lörrach, Waldshut and Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald and several communities in Black Forest promised financial support.

A Henschel DEL 110 (called Köe 6043) handed over by Club 41 073 as a permanent loan does all shunting in Seebrugg.
