A small country road leads off the main road out of Steinfeld, and by the side of the public road there is a tippling facility for the peat works. The peat is transhipped via an elevator, discharging directly into waiting transport for processing elsewhere.

When seen in May 2006, the usual loco for line work here was an old Schöma loco dating back to 1958. The plant number within the company is No.43.

The articulated lorries draw up alongside the loading facility and the loaded wagons are pulled through the tippler to load each lorry.

Emerging from the forest, the train of empties moves into a run round loop on the edge of the moors to exchange wagons with another loco.

A Diema loco (No.44 5187/1991), one of the youngest in the fleet, was employed on a track maintenance.

A further operational loco was No.10, another Diema, was found in the loco shed. A total of 5 working locos were here, however the moors were not fully explored and there could have been further locos not seen.

Heading back to the moors with a train of empties, No.43 makes a clasic picture of the German Torfbahnen running alongside the road.

By the time of the next visit in September 2013, the railway had invested in 2 new Schöma locos, and one of these (No.9) was shunting at the transhipment area.

The other loco (No.24) was found outside the loco sheds.Sadly these new locos were too tall to fit inside the small storage sheds!

Not obvious in this photo, both locos can be operated by remote control, and the driver has the control box around his neck and has full control of the loco when not in the cab.

Summing up the charm of this railway, with tracks either side of the road, the railway seems to just blend in with it's surroundings.
