General coal railway
The Generaler Kohlenbahn was a horse-drawn railway in Dahlhausen . It was built from 1805 to remove the coal from gallery No. 5 of the United General & Erbstollen colliery to the Ruhr . It ran from the Ruhr in the Ruhrort district along the Hörsterholzer Bach over today's Scharpenseelstraße and Karl-Arnold-Straße to Blumenfeldstraße. It had a total length of 9,346 m. In 1834 the Amalia and Adolphine pits were connected by horse-drawn towing. In 1855 the rail line from the Berger mine to the coal storage facility on the Ruhr came into operation. It was 1900 laughs long. In 1860 the horse-drawn towing line for the Witten-Bochum Railway was built. 1872 began to replace the heavily sloping Pferdebahn to watch the construction of a söhligen web with a seigeren brake shaft.
The Hasenwinkel coal route ended a few hundred meters further upstream of the Ruhr .
In 1876, the connecting line from the Harz shaft (2) to Weitmar station of the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (BME) was put into operation.
