Intro

 The why and wherefore

 

Finding a back story can be problematic, the profile must be a very small station in Thuringia preferably on the northern edge of Thuringia Forest, an area bounded by Ilmenau, Grossbreitenbach und Bad Blankenburg region is known for its exposed rocks, pretty villages and scenery, add numerous venues for refreshment.

 

 

There are a number of branchlines, although many have been long closed, The Köditzberg–Königsee railway (KKB) was a railway line in the district of Saalfeld-Rudolstadt in Thuringia, which connected the city of Königsee to the railway network. Shortly after the opening, voices from the industry were heard, which demanded an extension of the railway line beyond Königsee to Gehren in the west to the Ilmenau–Großbreitenbach railway.  

 

The line to Grafenwalde was completed in 1910, it was classed as a Kleinbahn with an initial weight limit of just 12t, which was upgraded in 1917 to 16,8t in order to accomodate the T9.3 that supplemented the line's T3 which pulled a BCPwPosti that 

Lindner built in 1912 for the line's owners.

 

 From 1962, a diesel locomotive of the V15 series operated until the closure together with a Wismar TypB railbus locally known as Molly.
