Wallersdorf–Münchshofen railway

The station's former marshalling and loading yards − at kilometre post 52.9 – have been dismantled apart from a simple crossing loop for the current regional passenger and goods trains.

As a result, local farmers founded a cooperative to build a narrow-gauge line (Kleinbahn) with a junction on the Landau–Plattling railway.

According to Zeitler,[1] the cooperative was given approval to build the line by a Bavarian law passed on 26 June 1908; the authorised route running from the station in Wallersdorf via Büchling to Münchshöfen.

On the largely flat valley of Gäuboden the railway was intended to supply the farmers with goods (fertiliser, coal and building materials) and especially during harvest to transport away produce, mainly sugar beet and cabbages, in a cost-effective manner.

It was intended to purchase narrow-gauge track and vehicles with a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge cheaply from former Army stock.

The rapid mechanisation of agriculture after the Second World War and the urgent need for further investment to keep the line open led to its closure on 31 December 1949 and subsequent dismantling.

In 1932, after a serious accident, they bought locomotive BR 99 133 (Krauss 1922/7986, a Bavarian Pts 3/4, type 1Ch2t) that had been laid up two years earlier on the Neuötting–Altötting railway.
