Lower Saxon State Railway Office

{{no footnotes|date=July 2016}}

The Lower Saxon State Railway Office ({{langx|de|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.
