The rail bus of the BorkumThe narrow-gauge railway, affectionately called the “pig-nosed” because of its shape, began operating in 1940. This type of railcar was developed in the early 1930s for low-cost rail transport. Today, a restored model runs on Borkum for nostalgic excursions with photo stops at the Deichschart.
