It was three years ago, on 12th October, 2014, that the last train rolled over the tracks of the miniature railway belonging to the Dampfbahnclub Taunus in the Mainstraße. After that day the tracks, buildings and other fixtures of the old layout were taken up and removed, work that took a whole year to complete.
