Christoph Hartmann is married with two children and lives in Dudweiler.
The signals from Bexbach to Dudweiler were remotely controlled from the Nof interlocking.
Two years later, on 16 November 1852, passenger trains ran on the line, known as the Forbach Railway, via Sulzbach, Dudweiler and St. Johann-Saarbrücken to reach the French border at Forbach.
