Taurach Railway

The Taurach Railway uses the section of the Murtalbahn from Tamsweg to Mauterndorf, which was closed for economic reasons in 1981 after heavy damage to a bridge.

The section was revived as a museum railway by Club 760, which is an association formed for that purpose.

The Taurachbahn was opened on 9 July 1988 and operates as a museum railway weekends every summer.

The major station on the railway is Mauterndorf, where there is a boiler house and workshop, and also a wagon-works constructed in 1999 with the assistance of a European Union grant.

After passing through Mariapfarr the line crosses the Taurach, and Lignitzbach rivers, and then local highway L248.
