            Train station under the mighty Eiger. Canton of Bern, Switzerland. No. 7774.

The Jungfrau railway (German: Jungfraubahn, JB) is a metre gauge (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in gauge) rack railway which runs 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from Kleine Scheidegg to the highest railway station in Europe at Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), between the Bernese Oberland and Valais in Switzerland. The railway runs almost entirely within the Jungfrau Tunnel, built into the Eiger and Mönch mountains and containing two stations in the middle of the tunnel, where passengers can disembark to observe the neighbouring mountains through windows built into the mountainside. The initial open-air section culminates at Eigergletscher (2,320 m), which makes it the second highest open-air railway in Switzerland. The line is electrified at 3-phase 1,125 volts 50 Hertz, and is one of four lines in the world using three-phase electric power.

At Kleine Scheidegg the JB connects with the Wengernalpbahn (WAB), which has two routes down the mountain, running respectively to the villages of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald. From both villages, branches of the Berner Oberland Bahn (BOB) connect to the Swiss Federal Railways at Interlaken.

The line is owned by the Jungfraubahn Holding AG, a holding company that also owns the Wengernalpbahn and Lauterbrunnen–Mürren mountain railway railways. Through that holding company it is part of the Allianz - Jungfrau Top of Europe marketing alliance, which also includes the separately owned Berner Oberland Bahn and Schynige Platte railways.

Die Jungfraubahn (JB) ist eine elektrische Zahnradbahn im Berner Oberland in der Schweiz. Sie führt von der Kleinen Scheidegg durch Eiger und Mönch bis auf das Jungfraujoch mit der höchsten Eisenbahnstation Europas (Tunnelstation, 3454 m) und überwindet auf einer Länge von 9,34 Kilometern fast 1400 Höhenmeter. Etwas mehr als sieben Kilometer der Strecke liegen im Tunnel. Sie feierte 2012 ihren 100. Geburtstag (Jungfernfahrt im August 1912).

Le Chemin de fer de la Jungfrau (allemand : Jungfraubahn) est une ligne de chemin de fer suisse reliant la gare de Kleine Scheidegg au Jungfraujoch, il traverse en tunnel l'Eiger et le Mönch pour s'arrêter au Jungfraujoch, un col entre le Mönch et la Jungfrau. Située à 3 454 mètres d'altitude, la station de chemin de fer du Jungfraujoch est la plus haute d'Europe ."
