The peat railway was a railway line that ran from Ismaning to Gut Zengermoos in Erdinger Moos .
In 1896, at the instigation of the landowner Johann Michael Ritter von Poschinger, the approximately 13-kilometer-long, single-track peat railway with a 760 mm gauge ( Bosnian gauge ) from the Schlossgut in Ismaning to the Moosgütern Zengermoos and Karlshof im Erdinger Moos was opened, with the peat extracted from the moss and gravel for road construction, people and food were transported. It was initially operated with a field locomotive from Krauss (No. 3294) and since 1902 with another locomotive from Maffei . A listed economic building of Ismaning Castle served as the “ peat station ”.
In 1909 it was connected to the newly opened Munich-East-Ismaning secondary line ( Krautexpress , today part of the Munich East-Munich Airport line ). The facilities of the Torfbahn, including a locomotive, were used as a Bockerlbahn to clear rubble in Munich at the end of the Second World War .
On the topographic map L 7736 from 1960, remnants of the peat railway north of the Zengermoos estate can still be seen.
