On October 1, 1886, Ponsfeld received a railway connection with the opening of the section between Prüm and Bleialf. During the Second World War, the station was first destroyed and later rebuilt. But from the 1970s, passenger and later freight traffic on the line was discontinued. Today, a Köf II shunting locomotive produced by Deutz and a flat goods wagon are erected as a memorial at the former level crossing. The Köf II was in service with the DB from 1959 to 1984.

The old Pronsfeld train station is not particularly worth seeing at the moment and there is no longer any management there. You can get refreshments in an old wagon Thurs-Sun. Otherwise there are some railway exhibits and many information boards. Definitely worth a stop here.

Thank you Kathi, very informative!
So basically you have to be quite old if you've seen or even ridden a train on this route.
50 years later, we are now asking ourselves whether the right of way for individual traffic was and is the last word in wisdom.
