Anger railway station takes you back to the time when the railway was opened in 1911. Still in good condition. Unfortunately, it is currently an abandoned jewel. Hopefully this lost place can be revived. The station was built as part of the construction of the approximately 24 km long Feistritztalbahn, a narrow-gauge railway between Weiz and Birkfeld. The railway was opened on December 14/15, 1911 and public transport was completely stopped in 1973. By decision of February 2, 2011, the railway was placed under monument protection, but this was overturned by the court in 2017; in July 2021, it was again placed under protection, which was again contested by the court, but has been legally valid since 2023ː
