Seespitz

Achenseebahn No. 3 'Achenkirch' looks something of a fish out of water standing on the level lakeside track at the Seespitz terminus in the 1990s. The metre gauge loco has just hauled its train from the summit station at Eben, having propelled it up the rack section from Jenbach. No. 3 will celebrate its 124th birthday in 2013 - it emerged from the Floridsdorf works of the Wiener Lokomotivfabrik in 1889.
