08 Dec 1992

After World War II some locomotives originally built for military purposes ("Kriegslokomotive") remained on the ÖBB narrow gauge lines. Four of the type KDL11 were converted to tank engines and later equipped with Giesel-chimneys. Two of them survived until today and can be seen here together in Grünburg on the preserved Steyrtalbahn.

While the Steyrtalbahn's own 699.103 is shunting around her train, 699.101, owned by the Gurktalbahn awaits overhaul.
