To begin with, four-coupled steam locomotives of Lenz Class n and Lenz Class m were deployed; later they were joined by six-coupled locos of Lenz Class o and eight-coupled engines of Lenz Class nn and Class Mh.
A Prussian T 36 also came to Rügen.

After the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the line, locomotives from other railways appeared, most for just a short period.
These included DR classes 99.451, 99.453, 99.464, 99.465 and 99.480, but especially the Class 99.51–60, the Saxon  IV K. From the 1980s there were also newly designed locomotives (Neubauloks) of Class 99.77–79.
The latter is still used today, alongside Class M and 99.480 locomotives.
Today there are also various privately owned steam engines underway on the line.
Since 1965 there have also been diesel locomotives, primarily for shunting duties.
Initially two former military (Heeresfeldbahn) Köfs, of which one is still around.
Since 1998 the former DB locomotive no.
V 51 901 has also operated on Rügen.

On the Rügen narrow-gauge network, Görlitz counterweight brakes were used to start with.
In 1965 they began to be replaced by compressed air brakes.
In contrast to many other narrow-gauge routes, the pipe couplings were arranged symmetrically on the vehicles.
Because the original engines did not have any heating pipe couplings, the passenger coaches had to be equipped with stoves.
Even the coaches that replaced them in the 1960s from Saxon railways were retrofitted with stoves.
From the outset until today, Equalising lever couplers (Balancierhebelkupplung) have been used.
Transporter wagons (Rollwagen) have never been employed.

From 21 March 2008 train services on 21 March 2008 were carried out with diesel locomotive 199 008-4 from the Pressnitztalbahn, no.
99 773 from the SDG and steam loco 99 787 from the Saxon Oberlausitz Railway Company.
Luggage vans and coaches were hired from the SDG and SOEG.

After operations with the hired vehicles at the start of the winter timetable 2008/09 had finished, the vehicles were returned to Saxony shortly thereafter.

A "new" locomotive, formerly No.
7 with the Mansfeld Mining Railway has been in service since October 2008 under the number 99 4011.
