The Tonkin Railway or South Lake Geneva railway (St-Gingolph-Bouveret-Monthey–St-Maurice railway and section of the Longeray-Léaz railway to Bouveret) is a rail transport connecting Saint-Maurice to Geneva (Switzerland), passing through Évian-les-Bains, Thonon-les-Bains and Annemasse (France).
The railway operates in the Valais Chablais region and between Évian-les-Bains and Geneva. However, the 17.8 km section between Saint-Gingolph and Évian-les-Bains, on the southeastern shore of Lake Geneva in the Savoie Chablais region, has been out of service since 1998. Several associations are currently campaigning for its reopening.
