SUMMARY:

As the ÖBB cut back services on the Ybbstalbahn, the end of the line from Keinberg to Lunz am See now sees museum trains run regularly. This video looks at services on both lines, with timber traffic and passenger traffic on the ÖBB operated line, and all the steam locos on the muesum line are seen in action.

The DVD includes much extra material such as separate menus for the track plans and views of the major stations, views of the locomotives currently in operation, and many types of rolling stock in use.

 
 
Stills from the video are shown below.


In October 2004 on of the line's 2095 locos heads into the short tunnel near Opponitz

Shortly after leaving Grosshollenstein a timber train heads back to Waidhofen

Before leaving Grosshollenstein there is always 30 minutes of shunting to assemble the train for departure.

Nearing Waidhofen a pair of the 5090 railcars cross the Ybbs river in May 1997

There are still two loco hauled passenger trains per day. This one is seen crossing the well known bridge in Waidhofen town centre.

Until recently timber traffic was hauled from Lunz am See. In 1997, the weekly timber train shunts the loaded wagons prior to departure.
