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+5⁄8 in) and 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) or Bosnian gauge (760 mm (2 ft 5+15⁄16 in)), built by Austria-Hungarians and Italians, intending to create a through route from Skopje and Tetovo to the Adriatic coast of Albania. None of these railways remained intact.
