760mm gauge 2095 012 on shed at Gmünd NÖ. Austria.

ÖBB, Austrian State Railways had 15 of these 590hp B-B Diesel hydraulics for use on the scattered 760mm gauge network of lines across the country. The depot at Gmünd NÖ in the far north of Austria had three allocated back in 1992 no's 2095 007, 012 and 014. They were used on the Litschau and Groß Gerungs branches primarily for residual freight traffic although the Groß Gerungs line did still have some loco hauled passenger workings Litschau was freight only. On the left sits a pair of 0-8+4 Engerth type 760mm gauge steam locomotives, no. 0399 004 sits alongside the 2095 diesel with sister 399 005 partly visible behind. ÖBB retained 3 of these distinctive locomotives for seasonal tourist trains over the three branches from the town of Gmünd running to Groß Gerungs, Litschau and Heidenreichstein.
