Bregenz Forest Railway, Heritage railway in Vorarlberg, Austria

The railway operated from 1902 to 1983 as a vital transportation link connecting Bregenz to Bezau, covering a total distance of 35 kilometers.
The railway preserves traditional transportation methods with vintage diesel and steam locomotives that demonstrate early 20th-century engineering in the Austrian Alps.
