Speed sign (indicating max speed of 20km/h) of Schneenbergbahn (narrow gauge cog railway) in Puchberg am Schneeberg (Austria)
This line is not run by ÖBB. The same sign - at any ÖBB line - would indicate a maximum speed of 200km/h. 2005-05-08 Photo by eisen.bahner |

Rack turnout in Puchberg, 2012-09-14. The rack must be everywhere because the rolling stock has no adhesion drive. As the cogwheel must pass over the rail in turnouts, the rack is elevated, which makes road crossings rather bumpy. |
