Mur Valley Railway

(Local Name: Murtalbahn) The normal trains which run in the Mur valley are modern stock and diesels; however, a few steam locomotives remain in use for nostalgic "Oldtimer" journeys. The Mur Valley Railway (Murtalbahn) operates in summer between Tamsweg and Unzmarkt. Once a week a slow steam train runs to both those places from Murau, which lies roughly half way between them. Trips for amateur enthusiasts are also possible - book in advance at the travel agency in Murau.
