context_page_description: The Hönne Valley Railway is a 22 km long, single-track and non-electrified branch line in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, running from Menden to Neuenrade through the Hönne valley. It is operated as timetable route 437 from Unna via Fröndenberg, Menden and Balve to Neuenrade.
  The line runs through two tunnels and across seven bridges made of natural stone through the Hönne valley, which was already praised for its beauty during the period of German romanticism when it was built.
context_section_description: The Hönne Valley Railway is served by Regionalbahn service RB 54 (Hönnetal-Bahn).
  Services run hourly in both directions between Unna and Neuenrade on weekdays with trains crossing in Binolen on the hour. Fewer services run on weekends. Trains run at least every two hours to and from Neuenrade.
  Services on the Hönne Valley Railway are operated by DB Regio NRW, using Alstom Coradia LINT 41 (class 648) diesel railcars, which by supplemented by LINT 27 (class 640) diesel railcars. The LINT 41 railcars can be operated either singly or doubly, as required, while the LINT 27 railcars are usually operated in double traction. In addition trains made up of a LINT 41 and two LINT 27 sets are a common sight for school services. Operations on the Hönne Valley Railway, along with the lines from Dortmund to Winterberg, Iserlohn and Lüdenscheid, were awarded in 2004 as a tender package called the Sauerland Net to DB Regionalbahn Westfalen, which has now been absorbed into DB Regio NRW.
  Before the use of DMUs of class 624 and 628 from about 1994, the line was operated for many years by locomotive-hauled trains usually formed as a push-pull service of Silberling carriages and class 212 diesel locomotives.
