Bregenz Forest Railway

The Bregenz Forest Railway (German: Bregenzerwaldbahn, known colloquially as the Wälderbahn or Wälderbähnle), is an Austrian narrow gauge railway with a track gauge of 760 mm (2 ft 5+15⁄16 in), the so-called Bosnian gauge. It runs through the state of Vorarlberg and from 1902 to 1983 linked Bregenz on Lake Constance with Bezau in the Bregenz Forest on a 35.33-kilometre-long (21.95 mi) railway line. Today only a 5.01-kilometre-long (3.11 mi) section is still worked as a heritage railway. The remaining line has been closed and largely lifted.
