Description
The mini railway in the palace gardens was set up in 1967 for the Federal Garden Show in Karlsruhe. The nearly two and a half kilometre stretch of track was initially run as a private business, but its operation was taken over by the transport services in 1988.
The train includes a diesel locomotive and four wagons, in addition to the steam locomotive ‘Greif’, which is run by a subcontractor. The train transports approximately 50,000 riders per year.
