Samoborček is the name given to a historic Croatian narrow-gauge railway linking Zagreb with Samobor onwards to Bregana, which operated from 1901 through 1979.
== History == Initially, Samoborček was projected as cargo train, to connect the factories and companies in Samobor with the growing industry and market in Zagreb, because at the time, the only connection was a horse omnibus. The railway was a public company until the end of World War II, when it was nationalized by the new government and became Zagreb–Samobor City Railway (). In coming years, the railway's share of traffic to Samobor dropped in favor of trucks and buses, and the railway was closed in 1979. All the infrastructure was abandoned and dismantled.
