Historic Railway Excursion Orchestrated by Büttgener
In an exciting development for railway enthusiasts, Volker Begas, a member of the Kaarst city council for the CDU, has announced plans for further irregular trips aboard the historic Rheingold train. Begas, a resident of Kaarst, has been organising such trips since 2006, showcasing his lifelong passion for railways.
The Rheingold train, a relic from the 1960s, will take passengers on a leisurely journey through the picturesque Bergisches Land at a comfortable pace. The train, rented from a separate source, boasts a unique buckelspeisewagen and an observation car with 22 seats under a glass dome, offering passengers a panoramic view of the countryside.
The trips, which are scheduled to depart at around 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM, will last approximately 4.5 hours each. Boarding points include Büttgen, Mönchengladbach, Kleinenbroich, and Neuss. Registrations and further information can be found at www.kulttour.eu or by calling Tel. 0173 / 4 45 51 33.
Volker Begas' love for the railway began in his early years, with train rides to Hamburg and Düsseldorf. His enthusiasm for railways led him to collaborate with the Friends of the Railway Cologne to rent a rare observation car and the unique buckelspeisewagen for these trips. In the past, Begas has organised trips using the legendary railbus and trips with the legendary diesel locomotive V200.
The train journey will cross Germany's highest railway bridge, the Müngsten Bridge, adding an extra layer of excitement to the trip. For those interested in railway history and scenic train rides, these trips offer a unique opportunity to experience a piece of Germany's rail heritage.
