"The railway line that runs from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel to Essen today goes back to the Deilthaler Pferdebahn or Prinz-Wilhelm-Bahn, which was built as early as 1831 to lightly transport coal from the Ruhr to Elberfeld, which is a main sales area lay.
In 1844-47 the horse-drawn tram was converted into a locomotive-powered railway. The line was extended north to Überruhr and south to Vohwinkel. At the end of the line on the Ruhr, a turntable was built on which the locomotives could be turned. Initially, the route south of Neviges had a switchback, which was necessary to overcome the steep gradient. Later - with more powerful locomotives - the route was straightened. In 1854 the railway company was placed under state control. In 1862, with the construction of the Ruhr Bridge near Steele, the railway was connected to the Bergisch-Märkische railway line that had been built there in the meantime. Consequently, the Prince Wilhelm Railway Company was taken over by the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company. In 1872, the Ruhr Valley Railway was connected with another Ruhr bridge at Kupferdreh, which used the track of the Prince Wilhelm Railway to Steele.
The route has not been used to transport coal for many years. But it still exists: as the S9 S-Bahn line, which runs between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen and Haltern."
