2043 064-1 with a short goods train at Ottenschlag station between Zwettl and Martinsberg-Gutenbrunn. Timber transport brought always good revenue to the line but ÖBB ceased passenger traffic in 1986. Bus service has always been poor there and didn`t improve after closure of the railway. I remember weekend trips in that time with hitchhiking being first choice of transport on Sundays...
