Ab 1899 entstand zwischen Hagen, Hemer und Altena ein über 40 Kilometer langes schmalspuriges elektrifiziertes Kleinbahnnetz, das die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des nordöstlichen Sauerlandes erst ermöglichte.
Kurz zuvor, ab 1896, wurde die etwas weiter südlich gelegene Stadt Plettenberg von einer Kleinbahn an die Ruhr-Sieg- Strecke im Lennetal angeschlossen.
Die Straßenbahnfreunde Hemer haben sich dieser bis zum Schluss mit Dampflokomotiven und Dieseltriebwagen befahrenen Kleinbahn angenommen.
www.westfalenhallen.deFrom 1899 onwards, a 40-kilometre narrow-gauge electrified light- railway network operated between Hagen, Hemer and Altena, allowing economic development of the north-east Sauerland region for the first time.
Shortly beforehand, from 1896 onwards, the town of Plettenberg, a little further south, was connected by light railway to the Ruhr–Sieg line in the Lenne Valley.
Straßenbahnfreunde Hemer took up the challenge of this light railway, which was operated with steam locomotives and diesel cars until its closure.
