Eisenerz
OBB Class 52 2-10-0 52 7064 shunts its train at Eisenerz, after arriving with a local service from Hieflau in August 1970. Eisenerz was at the northern end of the famous Erzberg ('Ore Mountain') rack railway, which over many years transported large quantities of iron ore quarried from the Erzberg, seen here in the background and mostly chiselled into rock terraces after many years of ore extraction. The rack railway eventually closed in 1988, although its southern ramp remains open as a preserved line.
