Pengel-Anton-Route route

Passenger trains ran on the Soest-Brilon line from 1899 to 1960. As in the Münsterland, so also in the Möhnetal, people only spoke of the "Pengel Anton" or the "Kiepenkerl".

In 1970, freight traffic between Soest and Belecke was also discontinued and the tracks subsequently dismantled. After a period of disuse, the track was restored and opened to cycle traffic by 1985.
