The Elsenborn Camp Railway was a 3.2 km long 600 mm gauge railway line which connected the Elsenborn Camp near Elsenborn with Sourbrodt railway station on the standard gauge Vennbahn in Belgium from 1901 to 1939.
The track was laid in 1900 and inaugurated in 1901. Since 1918 German 0-8-0 brigade steam locomotives of the Heeresfeldbahn were used on the line. The railway was subsequently nicknamed Elijah's chariot of fire and used for goods and passenger trains. Reverend Pietkin was not amused by the increasing alcohol consumption and prostitution around the railway station, when he warned from the pulpit about the railway's curse with the aphorism: "C'est le chemin de l'enfer!"
