The Società Anonima per la Ferrovia Elettrica di Valle Brembana (FVB) operated a standard-gauge railway line in the Italian region of Lombardy .
The route, opened in 1906, ran from Bergamo through the Valle Brembana to the then popular San Pellegrino Terme spa . In 1926, the route was extended to the San Martino de 'Calvi ski area (now Piazza Brembana ).
The line was electrified with 6000 V 25 Hz alternating current , which was unusual for Italy . The first locomotives were the series 1–5 and, after the First World War, the more powerful series 11–14 .
Unlike the Ferrovia Valle Seriana opposite , the Ferro Valle Brembana was only of tourist significance; Local and freight traffic remained unprofitable. With the increasing importance of car traffic, it was finally shut down in 1966.
