The Ruhr Valley Railway is a partially historic railway line from Düsseldorf-Rath via Essen-Kupferdreh, Bochum-Dahlhausen, Hattingen, Hattingen-Welper, Hattingen-Blankenstein, Witten-Herbede, Hagen-Vorhalle and Schwerte to Warburg. (...)

The Ruhr Valley Railway was primarily used to transport coal to the Ruhrort port, bypassing the Heißener Berg. (...)

The Middle Ruhr Valley Railway was put into operation on December 28, 1869 from Dahlhausen (Ruhr) via Hattingen on the left (southern) side of the Ruhr to Henrichshütte in Welper. On June 1, 1874, it was extended via Herbede and Wengern Ost to Herdecke (today: Vorhalle). (...)

Public passenger transport on the Hattingen–Wengern Ost section was discontinued on May 23, 1971. (...)

The (middle) Ruhr Valley Railway has been used since the beginning of 2005 as a railway for tourist scheduled services on the Bochum-Dahlhausen–Hattingen–Herbede–Wengern Ost–Hagen-Vorhalle–Hagen Hbf section, after the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum had already operated its own museum train service between Hattingen and Wengern Ost or Oberwengern between 1981 and 2004. (...) During the tourist season, however, the Ruhr Valley route is mainly used by historic steam trains from the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum or by nostalgic rail buses. (...)

In addition to tourist services, freight transport takes place on the route every working day for a forwarding and logistics company in Hattingen and a large scrap metal recycling company in Herbede, which is operated by DB Cargo. (...)

On a section of the middle Ruhr Valley Railway, the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path, which was built by the Ruhr Regional Association between 2005 and 2006, runs alongside the route between the Hardenstein ruins and Wengern on the site of a former second track. (...)

Since July 2020, it has been examined whether the Hattingen-Hagen section should be reactivated for local rail passenger transport. A feasibility study has been drawn up for this purpose, which, in addition to the Hattingen-Hagen connection, also takes into account the connection to Witten Central Station via the Ruhr viaduct of the Elbschetalbahn.
