The Volcano Express

A trip with the Brohltalbahn is more than just a train ride. It is pure everyday deceleration, a real technology and nature experience. It allows you to experience the Laacher See volcanic region with its unique volcanic landscape up close and gives you a feeling for the "effort" it takes for the locomotives to overcome around 400 meters in altitude between the Rhine and the Eifel.

The Humboldt-Type M.105 steam locomotive is a four-axle meter-gauge Mallet locomotive that was built by the Humboldt Mechanical Engineering Company in Cologne Brohltal-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BEG) in 1906.
