Bulle–Broc railway line

The Bulle–Broc railway line is a railway line in the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland. It runs 5.4 kilometres (3.4 mi) from Bulle to Broc-Chocolaterie. It was built in 1912 by the Chemins de fer électriques de la Gruyère (CEG) as a branch from the Palézieux–Bulle–Montbovon railway line. Both lines were 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in) metre gauge. Transports publics Fribourgeois (TPF) closed the line from 2021–2023 for rebuilding as a standard gauge line.
