Tips

Although the Westfälische Landes-Eisenbahn (WLE) owned the line from Wiedenbrück to Sennelager, the Sennebahn had no direct connection to the rest of the WLE network. The WLE made minor repairs to locomotives and wagons at the Delbrück (Westf) locomotive station. Until the demolition in May 1996, there was a double-track locomotive shed designed for four triple-coupled locomotives with a magazine, workshop, forge and water tower. Locomotives and wagons had to be transferred via the Rhedaer Bahn to the WLE main workshop in Lippstadt Nord on the Münster – Warstein railway line for deadline work and the repair of major damage to the rolling stock. The railway master's office was assigned to the Rietberg-Neuenkirchen station. From 1955 until the management of the DB on April 1, 1958, the Wiedenbrück – Sennelager line was part of the Lippstadt Nord railway maintenance office.

Great section. BUT: not on sunny Sundays between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., because it'll be crowded (or overrun ;-).
