Route - straight ahead
 to Paderborn

The Wiedenbrück – Sennelager railway branched off from the Rhedaer Bahn in Wiedenbrück and ran via Rietberg and Delbrück (Westf) to Sennelager , where there was a connection to the Paderborn – Bielefeld railway . The connection was popularly called "Senneblitz". The line was opened on September 1, 1902. Passenger traffic on the route was stopped on March 31, 1958 due to the low demand. One day later, operations management changed to the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB), which in turn handed over operations management of the Neubeckum – Beckum section to WLE. On January 23, 1979 the freight traffic between Delbrück (Westf) and Sennelager was given up. Up until May 26, 1990 there was still residual goods traffic from Wiedenbrück to Delbrück (Westf).

Business organization

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 in 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 maintenance department 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.
