Intermoselle

In 1973 a new quarry of lime was founded near Dudelange. The lime was digged just near the factory just south of the border between Luxemburg and France. From the digging area the chalk was transported by means of a conveyor belt to the newly made installations. From there the chalk is transported by train to the factories in Esch sur Alzette and to a factory in Germany.

To make transportation by railways possible a closed railway branch (former to a iron ore stone quarry) was reopened leading from the station of Tétange to the lime quarry.

The lime quarry does have a factory owned locomotive
