The Frankfurt Feldbahn Museum is located in the immediate vicinity of Rebstock Park. At least once a month there is a train service or a day of driving with diesel locomotives and steam locomotives on the 600 mm gauge. The Frankfurt Feldbahn Museum was originally founded in 1975 as the Frankfurt Narrow Gauge Friends Association. At the end of the 1970s the association called itself the Rhein-Main Steam Railway. From the mid-1980s the railway association was able to build a vehicle hall and extensive track systems on land provided by the city of Frankfurt am Main at Rebstock. The museum railway has a route of around 1,200 meters in length, with the trains being moved by changing locomotives at the two stations "Kaiserdamm" and "Alter Flugplatz" and at the museum itself. The vehicle fleet of the Frankfurt Feldbahn Museum now includes over 18 steam locomotives, including the smallest Mallet locomotive in the world, which was built by O&K. The collection also includes the world's oldest combustion engine locomotive preserved in its original condition, which dates back to before the First World War and was built by the Deutz company. Of the almost 50 motor locomotives built between 1913 and 1991, including 36 diesel locomotives, almost ten small diesel locomotives and four petrol locomotives, more than half are operational. In addition, the Feldbahnmuseum has four field railway and mine electric locomotives as well as various special vehicles such as draisines and rail bikes.
