The Delmenhorst–Hesepe railway is a single-track, non-electrified railway line from Delmenhorst to Hesepe, both in the German state of Lower Saxony.

The line was opened in four stages between 1888 and 1900. The first section from Vechta to Lohne was opened in 1888 as part of the Ahlhorn–Vechta railway. The section between Delmenhorst and Vechta opened on 1 May 1898. One year later on 1 November 1899 the section between Lohne and Neuenkirchen opened. This section was extended to Hesepe on 1 May 1900.

The services on the line have been operated by NordWestBahn since November 2000. The current contract continues until December 2026.

Local services Osnabrück - Bramsche - Vechta - Delmenhorst - Bremen

gollark: And I found out the computers all have keyloggers by typing a bunch of suspicious keywords into notepad (and not saving that). They complained that I had apparently wasted a bunch of time by doing so.

gollark: This has never been fixed because apparently the old software does everything they want fine.

gollark: Also, they use Raspberry Pis for some programming education, but connecting to the package repositories they need for updates is blocked by the filtering proxy.

gollark: Sometimes they fail to PXE-boot or something like that and are just stuck displaying a black screen with some error messages on it.

gollark: In my school there are a bunch of displays with "information" on them (mostly news headlines and promotional images of the school) which apparently run Windows, because they frequently seem to undergo updates and sometimes are stuck on a blank desktop (do they not know how to make stuff autostart?).
