Class Aflenz (Locobase 5022)

Data from [link] (last accessed 13 January 2007), later Club 760 link at [link], last accessed 2 July 2024. Works numbers were 2884-2886 in 1893.

When the StL Bahn opened its Kapfenberg -Thorl - Seebach - Au/Seewiesen branch, otherwise known as the Thorler Bahn, this engine (works #2885) was among the first to be procured. It worked on the KTSA Bahn until 1970. Between 1945 and 1950 the engine was in Stainz to manage the reinstalled passenger service on that line together with the Stainz 2.

Although later restored to museum service on the Thorler Bahn, Z6 was moved to Mauterndorf on the Taurachbahn when the Thorlerbahn was closed in the mid-1990s. (The Taurachbahn is located in the Lungau (Salzburgerland), a plateau surrounded by the "RadstSdter Tauern" in the north, the" Hohen Tauern" in the west and the Nock mountains in the south. )


Class Z (Locobase 8084)

Data from Josef Pospichal's Lokstatistic site -- [link], accessed and [link], both accessed 13 January 2007. Works number was 3512-3515 in 1898.

Dubbed with impressive names like Sigmund Graf Thun, Zell Am See, Krimml, and Mittersill, this quartet went to work for the Pinzgauer right at the end of the 19th Century. In that service they proved underpowered, but struggled until they were replaced by U-class locomotives beginning in 1928. Z1 & Z3 were scrapped in 1929, Z2 in 1932, while Z4 lasted until 1939.
