The ore railway Silberhütte – Neudorf was an industrial railway in Saxony-Anhalt .
The 4.5 km long narrow-gauge railway with 750 mm gauge was built in 1886/87 and connected several ore mines in Neudorf with Silberhütte . Since the distance to the upper edge of the valley of the steeply sloping here Selketal ended, the slope was in Silberhütte using a brake mountain overcome. The industrial line had no connection to the nearby Selketalbahn . The railway line, which was used exclusively for transporting ore and factory traffic, was operated until 1909.
The only motor vehicle was a steam locomotive from Krauss . The fleet of cars consisted of seven passenger cars and 18 tipping lorries , each with a payload of 2.5 tons.
