898.01 being watered with a simple garden hose at the headshunt in Treibach-Althofen (which is a quite overgrown affair). There is an interchange possibility for passengers to ÖBB-trains and in the years of regular service it was the center of operation. But after closure ÖBB converted the engine shed to a bus garage and so the preservation society had to build a new one at the other end of the line in Pöckstein-Zwischenwässern.
