Could this be the most exotic steam type ever to feature on Railscot? 0-12-0RT No. 197.303 dating from 1912 waits to depart from the summit station at Präbichl on the rear of the combined 07.15 and 08.10 loaded workings from Erzberg in September 1975. 0-6-2RT No. 97.207 was at the front for the 8 km long descent to Vordernberg where electric power would take over for the remaining 13 km on easier grades to Donawitz steelworks.
