The two tracks and the station building of the Chiemsee-Bahn at
Prien, Bavaria, built in 1909. At right the tunnel to the DB station
Prien on the line Rosenheim-Salzburg. The 1000 mm Chiemsee-Bahn was
founded in 1887 and connects the railway station to the port of
Prien/Stock with a line of about 1900 meters. From Stock, ships
depart for the famous castle of Herrenchiemsee and the convent of
Frauenchiemsee. It is the only steamtram in the world which sees
regular service now, but in summer 1998, rumors spread that due to
financial reasons, there would be no service in 1999 any more.
