On the banks of the Küsten Kanal, Torfwerk Weener has an old Schöma loco as the yard shunter.

Torfwerk Weener uses a hydraulic side tippler to discharge the peat.

The early morning sunlight highlights the train from Röben Idunahall in Schermbeck.

In Schermbeck again, the train shares a large road bridge to cross a canal and a river.

Klasmann operates a large 900mm network near Meppen, and by Dalum there is an unloading point where the peat is discharged straight into waiting lorries.

At least 2 peat companies tip peat straight into canal barges for transport on the Küsten Kanal.

To the right of the picture above an extensive 900mm gauge system stretches out on the moors.

At Surwold the Sandbahn serves sand pits for a local building firm.

Many railways on this video are still operational in 2004, but Griendtsveen Torf at Schöninghsdorf is one railway that closed down a couple of years ago.

The old Schöma loco assisted the 2 Diema locos hauling the peat trains back from the moors at Griendtsveen Torf.

Another sand railway still exists near Haltern, and the sand is loaded from an overhead hopper.

The Diema loco of Ziegelwerk Iking carefully makes its way back to the brickworks with a loaded clay train.

The skips are pushed out to the pit at Ziegelwerk Iking, seen here crossing a minor road.
