Bukovina local railways
The Bukowinaer Lokalbahnen (BLB) were a local railway company in Bukowina in the Austro-Hungarian Empire .
It emerged on June 12, 1886 from the Czernowitz-Nowosielitza local railway , which in turn was licensed on June 5, 1883 by Alexander Freiherr von Petrinó, Heinrich Popper, Nikolaus Freiherr von Mustatza, Stefan Stephanowitz and Johann Zotta and after the approval of the statutes on July 2, 1883 by a constitutional general assembly on July 15, 1883 as a stock company was founded. This predecessor stock corporation, which was confirmed as a local railway by the laws of May 25, 1880 and December 26, 1882, opened the line of the same name on July 12, 1884 with connection in Novosielitza to the Russian Southwest Railways (Novoseliza-Larga-Okniza- Belzy).
Under their management the following routes existed:

Since the company did not have its own operating resources, the management of the railway was with the Lemberg-Chernivtsi-Jassy Railway until July 1, 1889, when it was transferred to the Imperial and Royal Austrian State Railways .
The SU itself existed until the end of the First World War in 1918/19, after which it was dissolved and the routes went, since the Bukovina was now part of Greater Romania in the possession of the Căile Ferate Române (Romanian State Railway Company).
