Austria. 1973/01/27, 3. Krauss 0-6-2T No. 298.53 has just arrived at Molln with the 13:15 train from Garsten on the 760mm gauge Steyrtalbahn on the snowy afternoon of Saturday 27th January 1973. The line continued further to Klaus, but at this stage, this was as far as passenger trains ran. The line closed in 1982 but fortunately, part of the line survives and is still in operation as a tourist railway. Happily, this loco also survives in preservation. The engine is Krauss standard class U, works No. 3711, built in Linz in 1898.
