The Ostertalbahn is a branch line that runs in the northeast of the Saarland from Ottweiler to Schwarzerden, mainly along the Oster which gives it its name. Although the first initiatives aimed at the construction of the line go back to the second half of the 19th century, the line was not opened to its full length until 1938 - and therefore very late in comparison to many other rail lines - after operations began the Ottweiler – Niederkirchen section had already been included a year earlier. The railway line was used for passenger traffic until 1980. After Deutsche Bahn had plans to shut down the line in the 1990s, the St. Wendel district managed to take over the line in early 2000. In 2001 the regular freight traffic ended. Since then, it has mainly been used by museum trains.
