• Cash only at the ticket window, since cards aren't accepted and young crew members sell the tickets
• Steam trains on some afternoons, marked on the online timetable, and steam fares cost more than diesel
• Day's timetable set that morning, posted around 9:30am because the crew are volunteers, so check before you go

A narrow-gauge railway that winds through Volkspark Wuhlheide, linking stations at the FEZ, the Badesee lake, the Parkbühne open-air stage and the train depot. Diesel locos pull the regular trains, with a steam engine on some afternoons.

Much of the crew is local kids and teens, trained from fifth grade as conductors, crossing keepers and station chiefs. Toddlers who love trains get a long ride; older kids watch peers at work.
