The RSE Rhein-Sieg-Eisenbahn GmbH (RSE) was founded in 1994 by the Verkehrsclub Deutschland and interested private individuals with the primary goal of preserving the threatened Beuel industrial railway . The RSE now operates numerous other routes.

Railway infrastructure company

Today, the RSE operates nationwide on the one hand as a railway infrastructure company for almost 192 kilometers of railway lines in three federal states (as of May 2019):

Bavaria :

Lower Saxony :

North Rhine-Westphalia :

Railway companies

On the other hand, the RSE acts as a railway company in passenger and freight traffic on other routes. Thus (as of January 2011) the goods traffic points Bonn-Beuel , Siegburg Siegwerk , Sindorf (in the city of Kerpen ), Porz (Rhine) and Wiehl (all in North Rhine-Westphalia) as well as Weißenthurm (Rhineland-Palatinate) are served and international rail freight transport are integrated. In 2019 only Bonn-Beuel and Weißenthurm will be served regularly.

Since June 2007 the RSE has advertised its home station Bonn-Beuel as Railport Bonn. The logistical possibilities of the only freight station in the Bonn region are outlined at the Internet address www.railport-bonn.de.

In spring 2007 RSE signed a joint venture with Nuon-Werksbahn at the Oberbruch Chemical Park . On this basis, a train driver from RSE and a shunter from Nuon work together on shunting work on the Oberbruch plant. Instead of the steam storage locomotive , an RSE diesel locomotive now operated. The reason for this was that the steam storage locomotive of the type "Meiningen" previously used for shunting work had to be decommissioned due to the expiry of the deadline.

The Oberbruch Chemical Park hoped that this new collaboration would give it greater flexibility, contacts to new customers and greater capacity utilization for rail operations. Due to the bankruptcy and sale of some companies in the Oberbruch industrial park, the cooperation between RSE and Nuon is currently on hold. ( see also: Wurmtalbahn )

In March 2007, RSE signed a cooperation agreement with Ilztalbahn GmbH to save the Passau – Freyung railway line from the threat of deedication and to take over the line. A decisive step was the granting of the operating license by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology on March 13, 2009.

Special trip on the Menden – Hemer route to the Hemer State Garden Show with, among other things, the "VT 23"

The RSE temporarily reactivated the Menden-Hemer line in order to enable rail traffic to the State Garden Show in Hemer in 2010 . The route was then put out to tender for delivery to third parties and then closed again on November 1, 2010.

On November 1, 2008, after taking over the Kall - Schleiden - Oberhausen section of the Oleftalbahn , the RSE received a fifty-year operating license, with the section from Höddelbusch to Schleiden Bahnhof belonging to it since 1999. On December 11th, the operating license was extended to the entire route to Hellenthal ; Since December 11, 2008, the RSE has also owned the remaining section between Oberhausen (Eifel) and Hellenthal.

Since August 1st, 2011 the RSE has been operating the Rinteln – Stadthagen railway line on behalf of the Bückebergbahn-Gesellschaft , which was about to be closed.

Since 1994, on the route Bonn-Beuel (RSE) - Pützchen or Hangelar - Pützchen, at the Pützchen market festival (on the 2nd September weekend from Friday to Tuesday), an independent local rail transport has been offered. The trains run mostly every half hour between the end points and the Pützchen stop, which is located in the middle of the festival area.
