The Borkumer Kleinbahn is a 900 mm (2 ft 11+7⁄16 in) narrow gauge railway on the German island of Borkum in the North Sea. It is the oldest island railway (German: Inselbahn) in Germany, beginning operation in 1888. The 7.5 km (5 mi) long line connects the port with the town of Borkum. It is double tracked since the early 20th century. In 1879, tracks for a horse-drawn railway line were laid for the construction of a new lighthouse. The tracks were converted for locomotive-hauled trains about 10 years later, and the line opened in 1888 as a successor of the horsedrawn line. The network reached its peak length in 1938, with a track length of about 45 km (28 mi). The line celebrated its 125th anniversary on June 15, 2013. More information...
