Gurktalbahn, Heritage railway in Gurktal, Austria
The Gurktalbahn railway line extends 28.8 kilometers through Carinthia, featuring a narrow-gauge track width of 760 millimeters along the Gurk River valley.
The railway began operations in October 1898 as a branch line of the Southern Railway, constructed by Stern & Hafferl company with three tender locomotives.
The Carinthian Railway Friends Association maintains this historical transportation system, organizing steam locomotive rides during summer months to preserve regional railway traditions.
The railway operates between Treibach-Althofen and Pöckstein-Zwischenwassern stations, with refreshment services available in the buffet car during weekend excursions.
Two steam locomotives power the trains along a special three-rail track section that connects to the TIAG industrial railway complex.
