Narrow Gauge Romantics
Keep Smiling
Schmalsprromantik im Steyrtal
Caught the backside of this iron lady in her engine shed on a rainy sunday. This beatuiful narrow gauge steam locomotive was built in 1898 and its is one of the oldest steam locomotives in Austria still operational. All these locomotives were beaten quite heavily in regular service until 1980 (!) when the entire line was shut down by Austrian Federal Rawilways (ÖBB). Some engaged railroad enthusiats were able to purchase and preserve part of the "Steyrtal Line". The "Steyrtalbahn" as it is called has been operated as a heritage or museum realway since then. www.oegeg.at/startseite/english-summary/
