The Hildburghausen–Lindenau-Friedrichshall railway, also known as the Hildburghausen-Heldburg Railway, was a nearly 30-kilometer-long narrow-gauge railway (meter gauge) connecting Hildburghausen with the southern Heldburg region. The ceremonial inauguration of the section from Hildburghausen to Heldburg took place on July 1, 1888. On December 1, the remaining section to Lindenau-Friedrichshall was put into operation. The entire railway became Prussian state property on July 16, 1895. From 1920, it became part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn network and belonged to the Erfurt Reichsbahn Directorate.Source:
