The Rügensche
Bäderbahn (RBB), formerly
Rügensche Kleinbahn, nicknamed Rasender Roland is the steam powered narrow gauge railway that runs from Putbus by way of Binz and Baabe to Gohren on the island of Rugen off the Baltic Coast in Mecklenburg - Vorpommern, Germany. The Rasender Roland is one of the
island's main attractions. The railway is running regularly along its stretch
of 24.1 km of track with historic
steam locos and coaches, some of which are
almost a hundred years old. The engine whistle belongs even today to the usual
background sounds of southeastern Rügen. Unlike the DB national system which uses standard gauge, Rasender
Roland uses the narrow gauge of 750 mm (2 ft 5 1⁄2 in).
