European Railroad Discussion > Mecklenburgische BäderbahnDate: 10/24/16 11:11 Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn Author: Bob3985 The December issue of Trains magazine features a fine article by Jim Wrinn about this line. In 2002 I got to visit Germany tracing my family roots and visiting railroad locations along the way. My fathers side was from Marlow in Mecklenburg not far from Bad Doberan. So a visit to the Molli was a natural. I was impressed with a shortline steam operation running a schedule along with DeutschBahn. The trains would neet at the depot to exchange passengers. And I was able to ride the train to Kühlingsborn. My good friend, Andreas Stirhl, was my host and guide. I have some great photos from that trip and more that I will need to scan to post.
I do have to admit that standing next to the locomotive made me appreciate the room I had in the 3985 Challenger cab. It was a neat ride and to be there for the meet between the two trains on the Molli at Heiligendam.

Great ride, and they were running two trains at a time. Just wish I could have spent more time there.
