The kkStB 69 was the oldest and strongest type of rack railway - steam locomotives of the "Lokalbahn Eisenerz-Vordernberg" ( Erzbergbahn ).
history
The first four copies were available when the cog railway according to the Abt system went into operation in 1891. Four more locomotives of the same design followed in 1892, and two more in 1893. Between 1898 and 1908 eight machines were built that were already owned by the Imperial and Royal Austrian State Railways (kkStB). The designation at that time was series 69.01-18.
The maximum speed on cogwheel routes was 12 km / h and was gradually increased to 20 km / h by 1920. In March 1938, all 18 locomotives were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and were given the series designation 97.201–218. The locomotives of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) kept these numbers from 1953.
As early as 1942, two machines were transferred to other railways (including in Thuringia and Hungary), but came back to the Erzbergbahn. From 1944, individual locomotives were decommissioned or sold.
The 97.203, 208, 212, 215 and 217 received a Giesl ejector .
When cogwheel operation was discontinued at the end of 1978, all of the remaining locomotives were withdrawn. Some examples have been preserved as locomotive monuments, operable machines of this series are (without gear drive) in the Strasshof Railway Museum in Lower Austria , and as an exhibit in the Darmstadt-Kranichstein Railway Museum in Germany. The 97.201 was dismantled into several components and exhibited in the Technical Museum in Vienna to explain the inner workings and functionality of a steam locomotive to the public. In 2008 it was given on loan to the Erzbergbahn Association in Vordernberg.
