The hills of Austria's Styrian Alps were often alive in 1970 to the sound of 'railway' music from OBB Class 97 tanks slogging up the standard gauge rack-assisted incline from Vordernberg to Praebichl. Note the Giesl ejector on the locomotive at the head of the train. The banker, out of sight at the rear, had a conventional chimney.
