Chiemsee-Bahn, Narrow-gauge steam railway in Prien am Chiemsee, Germany
The Chiemsee-Bahn operates on a 1.9-kilometer track between Prien railway station and Prien-Stock harbor, connecting passengers to Lake Chiemsee ferry services.
The railway began operations on July 9, 1887, following an incident with horse-drawn carriages that prompted the construction of a safer transportation method to Herrenchiemsee Palace.
The railway maintains its original steam locomotive and nine passenger cars from 1887, earning recognition as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria.
The steam train service runs from mid-May to mid-September, while a diesel locomotive handles transportation duties during other operational periods.
Engineers and conductors spend winter months in workshops maintaining the historical vehicles, performing repairs with specialized knowledge of vintage railway equipment.
