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. It was built between 1870 and 1876 by the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, one of the three large private railway companies in the Ruhr area at that time. The route is an example of the fact that river valleys were particularly well suited for the construction of railroads at the time due to their generally even gradients.

The Ruhr Valley Railway was primarily used for coal removal to the Ruhrort port, bypassing the Heißener Berg. Connecting railways ensured a high volume of traffic during the heyday of coal mining on the Ruhr and due to the 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 closed down until 1978 and then dismantled. The Hespertalbahn is not part of the Ruhr Valley Railway, although it runs largely parallel to the river, here on the south shore of Lake Baldeney, from the old copper turning station to the Scheppen house.

"In 1872, a railway depot and the railway bridge over the Ruhr, which connected the Ruhr Valley Railway as part of the Bergisch-Märkische Railway, were built in Kupferdreh. This is how one of the largest railway junctions in the Ruhr area was created. The bridge over the Ruhr once had round arches and then received during of the construction of Lake Baldeney in 1929. It was blown up in the Second World War, but then rebuilt as a single-track railway bridge. Today it serves as a pedestrian bridge, the tracks were removed. The Kupferdreh station was opened in 1898. The front platform was used by the Ruhr Valley Railway, the crossed the Ruhr Bridge. Before the bridge, the Hespertalbahn or Pörtingsiepenbahn branches off to the Pörtingsiepen colliery at the time.

Here it goes over the tracks of the Hespertalbahn, which runs from Kupferdreh to Haus Scheppen.
