Look around, and you might just see the shadows of steam engines traveling between Moers, Hüls, and Krefeld. This railway was more than tracks and metal; it was the lifeline of a region, connecting people and industries. Just behind you, towards the Inrather Berg, the landscape once stretched open as the tracks wound through. It's amazing to think that this spot was once a hub of progress.
