Historic steam locomotives until 2013

The steam locomotive 012 100-4 (standard express train locomotive DRG class 01.10 ) commutes on the routes of the Flensburg port railway (2007). This element of the festival is now history due to local politics.

Route of the former Flensburg harbor railway to Flensburg harbor

Until 2013, as part of the steam tour, a historic steam locomotive commuted on Germany's oldest still preserved railway line, the former Flensburg port railway . Every two years it was the only time that trains ran on the otherwise unused route.

The switch at the junction to the east bank has been expanded since September 2015. The port railway, which was shut down in 2014, has not been used since then, although the track on the western bank can still be used.

The festival was considerably reduced in size. A steam-driven special trip planned in 2017 at least to Flensburg main station was canceled at short notice because the train was not given a transit permit due to the G20 summit in Hamburg .

The SPD and CDU want to make a fast bike route possible on the embankment, although a bicycle path runs right next to the embankment.

Occasionally, other steam engines, such as steam rollers, are also demonstrated.
