Celebrating 50 Years of Bavarian Local Railway Association: Special Train Rides This Weekend
This weekend, the Bavarian Local Railway Association (BLV) is celebrating its 50th anniversary by offering a series of special train rides through the scenic landscapes of Bavaria. One of these rides is the historic Fugger Express, which runs from Munich to Augsburg and beyond.
The journey begins in Munich and takes passengers on a picturesque route through Fürstenfeldbruck, Geltendorf, and the upper Paartal, before stopping at Starnberg and Murnau. On Sunday, the E69 05 locomotive, a historic train from 1930, will be moving towards the Werdenfelser Land from Munich. In Murnau, special train passengers can visit the historic E69 04 or the castle museum.
Upon arrival at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a ride on the Zugspitzbahn is possible. For those heading to Augsburg, visitors can explore the Rail Park and its exhibition of steam locomotives.
The BLV, founded in 1975 in Tegernsee, operates the Local Railway Museum in Bayerisch Eisenstein. The association's goals include the operation of historic trains and the collection of historically valuable railway materials from Bavaria. The operational fleet is maintained by volunteer members in Landshut.
Several times a year, the BLV organizes special train rides, including those with steam locomotives. This weekend, the E69 05 locomotive from 1930 is operational and moving from Munich. Passengers will find seating in old, green platform cars from the 1930s.
In addition to the Fugger Express, another special train journey is taking place on Sunday. The train from Munich to the Werdenfelser Land offers a unique opportunity to travel back in time and experience the charm of Bavaria's rich railway history.
The BLV's founders, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, are not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, their passion for preserving and sharing Bavaria's railway heritage lives on in the association's continued efforts to provide enjoyable and educational train rides for all to enjoy.
