History

The Chemin de fer Bulle–Romont (BR) opened the line between Bulle and Romont on 1 July 1868.[2] The line was electrified on 8 May 1946.[3]

In 1942, the BR merged with two other companies to form the Chemins de fer fribourgeois Gruyère–Fribourg–Morat (GFM).[4] The GFM, in turn, became the Transports publics Fribourgeois (TPF) in 2000.[5]
