The Nims-Sauertalbahn was a single-track, standard-gauge, non-electrified branch line (state railway) from Bitburg-Erdorf (on the Eifel route Trier-Cologne) to Igel in the Moselle valley. It led from the Kylltal via Bitburg, Irrel, through the Nimstal and the Sauertal. The line has been shut down and dismantled from Bitburg-Stadt train station in the direction of Irrel or Igel. The section between Bitburg and Bitburg-Erdorf is still passable; scheduled, regular traffic takes place e.g. Not currently taking place.
