The Lower Saxon State Railway Office (german: Niedersächsische Landeseisenbahnamt) or NLEA was a central authority that managed the operation of many
light railways (known as ''
Kleinbahnen'') in the North German state of
Lower Saxony. These were predominantly those railways which the state had a financial stake in.
History
As in most
Prussian provinces, a large number of ''
Kleinbahn'' railway lines appeared in the
Province of Hanover following the passing of the
Prussian Kleinbahn law.
