Historic Rail Excursion Arranged by Büttgener: A Voyage Through Time on Tracks
In an exciting turn of events, Volker Begas, a native of Büttgen and a member of the Kaarst city council for the CDU, is set to take passengers on a unique journey aboard a historic Rheingold train from the 1960s. The train, which will be making stops in Büttgen, Mönchengladbach, Kleinenbroich, and Neuss, is a testament to Begas's lifelong passion for railways, a passion that began in his early years.
Begas, a cultural and event organiser in Kaarst, has been orchestrating irregular railway special trips since 2006. This time, he has collaborated with the Friends of the Railway Cologne to rent an observation car and a unique buckelspeisewagen for the journey. The train, which boasts a last "buckelspeisewagen" of its kind and an observation car with 22 seats under a glass dome, will offer passengers a comfortable and unparalleled experience.
The train journey will take passengers through the picturesque landscapes of the Bergisches Land, culminating in a crossing of Germany's highest railway bridge, the Müngstener Bridge. The train trips, which are scheduled to depart at approximately 9:30 AM and 3:30 PM, are expected to be well-received, with Begas planning further irregular trips if the June 15th trips are successful.
Interested passengers can find more information and register for the trips by visiting www.kulttour.eu or by calling Tel. 0173 / 4 45 51 33. This special event promises to be a memorable experience for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike, offering a glimpse into the past while enjoying the beauty of the present.

Family and finance will play significant roles for Volker Begas as he prepares for the ticket sales of his unique transportation experience. Since he is a cultural and event organizer, this new railway excursion fits well within his industry. After all, successful trips could lead to future revenue and bring his family, along with other enthusiasts, closer to the history of railways.
