The Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway (Dampfbahn Furka-Bergstrecke, DFB in German) is a company which operates a railway line between Realp and Oberwald. It is an old section of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn that was abandoned after the construction of the Furka Tunnel and then gradually brought back into service by the Verein Furka-Bergstrecke in early 2000 with the use of only steam locomotives.
