... Efforts to make the mine railway accessible to public transport remained unsuccessful, as Krupp on the one hand had no interest and on the other hand a re-concessioning would have involved considerable structural changes to the facilities. Finally, in 1903, a proposal from 1903 was taken up to build a standard-gauge line for public transport, a route from Betzdorf through the Elbbach valley to the district border at Nauroth. In 1904, a corresponding application was approved by the ministry in Berlin, so that planning could begin. In 1911, after the purchase of Krupp's Elbbachtalbahn, construction work could begin, which had been awarded to AG für Bahnen und Tiefbauten. The railway construction was very costly; over 600,000 m³ of earth had to be moved, deep cuttings dug, high embankments built, and the tunnel between the Elbbach and Sieg valleys rebuilt. During the reconstruction, the tunnel had 3 portals, as the narrow-gauge railway passed straight through the mountain. By the end of 1912, the construction work was completed, and the railway inspection took place in January 1913. In 1931, the old line to Nauroth was dismantled and the rails were used for the construction of the new line. With the reopening of the Luckenbacher Ley basalt quarry in 1934, the new line, which still exists today, could be put into operation."

In 1880, Krupp decided to build its own haulage railway from the Steinebach mine to Scheuerfeld station. Construction began in the spring of 1882, and operations commenced in January 1883. The 8-kilometer-long line, built to meter gauge, was licensed as a mine railway and served exclusively for the transport of ore and the supply of mine timber and coal for the shaft and machine facilities at Bindweide. The line began in Steinebach at the level of the adit mouth, ran along the road from Elben to Steinebach on the right side of the road, crossed the road shortly before Elben and then the Steinebach stream on a masonry bridge, led along the slope towards Elben, crossed the road to Gebhardshain and then ran along the left valley slope of the Elbbach stream. Behind the Dauersberger Mill, the Elbbach was crossed on a masonry bridge, the track then remained on the right side of the Elbbach in the valley floor, reached the ridge separating the Sieg valley from the Elbbach valley and was passed under by a 282-meter-long tunnel, and then swung west above the Sieg towards Scheuerfeld railway station, where the ore was transloaded via a drop ramp into the provided state railway wagons. ...
