Mariazellerbahn

This forest railway was situated in the northern part of the Veľká Fatra mountains. Point of departure of the railway was in spa town Ľubochňa. The operation on this narrow gauge railway (gauge 760 mm) was started in 1903 and in 1904 the line was already electrified. Therefore it was one of the first electrified railways in Europe. The main task of the railway was transport of wood from forest valleys to sawmill in Lubochňa. Since 1921, after receipt of permission, there was also public passenger transport. Initially the rolling stock consisted of two two-axle DC electric locomotives Ganz (output 23,5 kW, weight 5,5 t) and wagons for wooden transport. In 1966 the train operation on the railway was closed and later the whole line was liquidated.
