The Le Locle–Les Brenets line is a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) railway line in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland.[1] It runs 4.1 kilometres (2.5 mi) from Le Locle, where it has a cross-platform interchange with the standard gauge Neuchâtel–Le Locle-Col-des-Roches line of Swiss Federal Railways, to Les Brenets. The line was originally built by the Régional des Brenets and opened on 1 September 1890.[2] Today, it is operated by the Transports publics Neuchâtelois. On 24 July 2020 , the canton of Neuchâtel announced the line will closed in 2025, to be replaced by an electric bus service that will use the Petits-Monts railway tunnel.[3]
