The Associazione CSG Swiss Railpark St. Gotthard, ^[1] from 2017 Club del San Gottardo, ^[2] short form CSG, is an association for the preservation of historic railway vehicles and the creation of tourist attractions in the Swiss canton of Ticino. It was founded in 1980 and named after the Gotthard railway. Originally based in Mendrisio, it was relocated to Biasca in 2022. The association owns a depot in Mendrisio. In the early 1990s, the association took over the green-painted former SBB E 3/3 8501 and three passenger cars from the former Oswalt Steam company for excursions in Ticino. ^{[3] [4]}

The club operates the Italian Valmorea Railway and its Swiss section, the Mendrisio–Stabio line, as a heritage railway.
