The Scheuerfeld and Emmerzhausen railway, also known as the Westerwald Railway (German: Westerwaldbahn), is a railway line in the northernmost part of the German federated state of Rhineland-Palatinate. There was a pit railway here as early as the last decades of the 19th century, used to transport ore and other minerals, but after the turn of the century, a standard gauge railway was built for public transport.
