The Neufahrn–Radldorf railway is a single-track, non-electrified branch line from Neufahrn along the Kleine Laber (a tributary of the Große Laber) to Radldorf in Lower Bavaria. It was opened in 1859 and is one of the oldest railways in Germany.
On 3 November 1858, the first section of the Munich–Regensburg line was opened from Munich to Landshut. The Bavarian Eastern Railway Company (German: Königlich privilegirte Actiengesellschaft der bayerischen Ostbahnen) pushed forward energetically with the construction of the line to Regensburg and Straubing so that on 8 November 1859 a limited freight service was established between Landshut and Straubing. On 12 December 1859, the Geiselhöring–Straubing line was opened and was extended to Passau in 1860, now forming part of the Regensburg–Passau line. The line from Geiselhöring to Regensburg was also opened on 12 December 1859. As a result, Geiselhöring station became an eastern Bavarian railway hub with eleven tracks and a large locomotive depot.
The construction of a shortcut from Neufahrn to Obertraubling between 1870 and 1873 significantly shortened the line from Landshut to Regensburg. The company also built a shorter line from Straubing to Sünching in 1873, making it unnecessary for trains between Regensburg and Passau to travel via Geiselhöring. The Eastern Railway Company and its successor from 1875, the Royal Bavarian State Railways, sought to abandon the line from Geiselhöring to Sünching. The Geiselhöring community fought against this proposal with petitions to various authorities in an attempt to avert the further decline in the importance of Geiselhöring station.
