Narrow gauge railways in Albania

Between 1917 and 1930 approximately 300 km of military and industrial narrow gauge railways were built at the gauge of 600 mm (1 ft 11 58 in) and 750 mm (2 ft 5 12 in) or Bosnian gauge (760 mm (2 ft 5 1516 in)), built by Austria-Hungarians and Italians,[1] intending to create a through route from Skopje and Tetovo to the Adriatic coast of Albania.[2] None of these railways remained intact.[3]
