The Bern-Schwarzenburg-Bahn ( BSB ) is a former railway company in Switzerland . It was founded to operate the railway line from Bern to Schwarzenburg , which opened on June 1, 1907 .
On June 28, 1916, a passenger car derailed in the Ausserholligen station and overturned; one traveler died and 20 were injured.
The railway company merged on January 1, 1944 with the Gürbetalbahn (GTB) to form the Gürbetal-Bern-Schwarzenburg-Bahn (GBS), which continued the operation of the BSB line.
The GBS was then part of an operating group led by the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon-Bahn (BLS). The four group companies merged in 1997 to form BLS Lötschbergbahn AG , which in turn merged in 2006 with Regionalverkehr Mittelland AG (RM) to form BLS AG , which now owns the former BSB line.
