Chiemgauer Lokalbahn at Obing am See

This quite long preserved railway runs from Bad Endorf, Bavaria. Regular passenger services ceased in 1968, but freight survived until 1996. This 1952 diesel railcar seems to constitute the only useable resident passenger vehicle! They advertise occasional steam trains, but I understand these are imported from Austria for the weekends concerned. The railcar seems to be of mostly wooden construction with a steel exterior skin.

Branch Line Society members would doubtless be pleased with the 'buffer stop kissing' taking place here!
