Murtalbahn, Narrow-gauge railway in Styria, Austria
The Murtalbahn railway stretches 76.1 kilometers through the Mur Valley, connecting Unzmarkt with Murau and extending to Tamsweg in Salzburg state.
The railway line commenced operations in October 1894, serving both passenger and freight transport needs between Unzmarkt and Mauterndorf through the mountainous terrain.
The locomotive shed at Frojach Katschtal station houses a railway museum that documents the technical evolution of narrow-gauge transportation in Austrian Alps.
Modern diesel-electric railcars provide service every two hours, while steam locomotives operate special routes between Murau and Tamsweg during summer weekends.
The railway maintains active freight operations, transporting timber and petroleum using diesel locomotives on tracks with a 760-millimeter gauge width.
