    Today the S-Bahn line S6 operates on this section of the route between Ratingen Ost and Hösel. Historically, this railway line belongs to the Ruhr Valley Railway.

    "... The Ruhr Valley Railway is a partially historical railway line from Düsseldorf-Rath via Essen-Kupferdreh, Bochum-Dahlhausen, Hattingen, Hattingen-Welper, Hattingen-Blankenstein, Witten-Herbede, Hagen-Vorhalle and Schwerte to Warburg Built in 1876 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, one of the three large private railway companies in the Ruhr area at the time, the route is an example of the fact that river valleys were particularly well suited for the construction of railway lines because of their usually even gradient.
    The Ruhr Valley Railway was primarily used to transport coal to the Ruhrort port, bypassing the Heißener Berg. Connecting railways ensured a high volume of traffic in the heyday of coal mining on the Ruhr and due to steel production at the Henrichshütte in Hattingen.
    In addition to the Ruhr Valley Railway, which does not run along the Ruhr in its westernmost section from Kettwig to Düsseldorf, there was also the Lower Ruhr Valley Railway from Kettwig along the Ruhr to Styrum, which was shut down until 1978 and then dismantled. ... "
