A look behind the scenes of the FME

The Franconian Museum Railway has been committed to maintaining and promoting interest in historical railways since its foundation in 1985 in Nuremberg. It not only offers nostalgic trips, but also helps to keep the memory of the steam locomotive era alive. In addition to the operation of historical trains on the Gräfenberger local railway, the association also organizes various special trips in the region.

Before the FME was founded, there was only the traffic museum in Nuremberg - the initiative of the club members has largely promoted the cultural heritage of railway history in Bavaria. The historical treasures of the association include numerous renovation and luggage cars that bring cold iron alive and are a real highlight for many railway fans.

If you want to feel the scent of the old steam locomotives in the air and at the same time want to enjoy the impressive Alpine landscape, the special train of the FME is just the thing for you. Pack your suitcases and experience a day full of nostalgia and adventure!
