Used by the Germans up to 1945, called Feldbahn (field railway), for industrial plants or other temporary uses. In Norway during the WW II the Germans built a 15 km (9.3 mi) railway between the harbour at Årdalstangen and the industrial plant of Øvre Årda. It closed in 1959, by then used only at the iron works. One steam locomotive was lost into the sea, but was found by divers around 1990 and is restored and exhibited at Aardalstangen.
Lisbon funiculars (from 1913) and tramways (from 1901) and their preceding mule cars (regauged in 1888–1894 from 1,435 mm or 4 ft 8+1⁄2 instandard gauge)
In Sweden, there was an extensive network of railways with 891 mm (2 ft 11+3⁄32 in) track, some of them remain. This close enough to 900 mm (2 ft 11+7⁄16 in) that they are more or less compatible, and some sales of rolling stock between the gauges have taken place.[citation needed]
