Steam & Railway Image Library - The Alan Ledger Collection

Picture of the week

Hi all,
Here are a couple of really nice shots taken on my fifth visit to Austria. Almost all of the standard gauge steam had now finished in the country and so I was now concentrating here on the Garsten narrow gauge line which would almost certainly be closed by the OBB Austrian state railway, which it eventually was. But the section between Styer and Grunburg has now become a 17 km steam operated museum railway.

298-53 by the river Styer soon after leaving Haunoldmuhl with the 14.57 Garsten to Molln. Tuesday 11th July 1978.

298-56 after following the banks of the river Styer from Garsten to Haunoldmuhl the railway climbs high above the river to Leostein which is where 298-56 is approaching with the 14.57 from Garsten to Molln. Wednesday 12th July 1978.

Regards
Ledg.
