For sale: railroad tunnel in Germany
Posted by MStLfan on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 5:11 PM

Ever dreamed of buying your own railroad tunnel?

Now is your chance to buy a former railroad tunnel of the Bad Eilsener Kleinbahn in Bad Eilsen, in the Weserbergland area of southern Lower Saxony, Germany.

Included: 500m of former right of way, 8500 m2 of ground, a former coal mine and a bunker complex where, during WW2, the Focke Wulf Fleugzeugwerke were headquartered.

Asking price: 24,900 Euros.

Saw this on the German privatbahnforum.de.

Hi 

Interesting post.  It certainly brought back a lot of memories from childhood.  I was born about an hours drive from where this tunnel is for sale.  

Thank you

Seems like it would be usefull than the de commissioned ICBM bunkers people have purchased in the US...at least a tunnel would have a back door!  Big Smile [:D]
