The Furka Cogwheel Steam Railway (Dampfbahn Furka-Bergstrecke DFB in German) is a largely volunteer operated heritage railway which operates a partially rack and pinion-operated line across the Furka Pass between Realp and Oberwald in Switzerland. Culminating at 2160 metres above sea level it is an old mountainous section of the Furka-Oberalp-Bahn (FOB) that was abandoned after the construction of the Furka Tunnel.
