Frankfurt am Main
The Historic Railroad’s trips offer unique perspectives on Frankfurt. Historic passenger cars roll along the tracks of the city’s harbor railway, taking passengers to areas that are rarely seen from a train in everyday life. Depending on the route, the trips depart from the Mainkai and either pass through the Osthafen or follow Speicherstraße toward Griesheim. Along the way, visitors encounter a blend of old railway technology, modern port facilities, and the Frankfurt skyline. The association’s fleet of historic steam or diesel locomotives is used for these trips. The clatter of the cars and the view of the tracks, bridges, and harbor basins define the experience. These special trips thus combine a classic museum railroad ride with insights into Frankfurt’s transportation and industrial history.
