The steam locomotive series SKGLB Z was a narrow gauge - gear - Tender Locomotive series of SKGLB Museum (SKGLB), which for the Schafbergbahn was built. A similar series of locomotives was procured by the Schneebergbahn -Gesellschaft (SchBB) and the Vienna-Aspang Railway (EWA) for the route up the Schneeberg .

In addition to its well-known narrow-gauge railway between Salzburg and Bad Ischl , the SKGLB also built the Schafbergbahn from St. Wolfgang to the Schafbergspitze . This meter-gauge cogwheel route based on the Abt system was opened in 1893. Krauss built six rack-and-pinion tank locomotives for operation in Linz . The machines have an outer frame that is narrowed to an inner frame in the area of ​​the trailing axle. They have a drive that only acts on the gears, the wheels are only loosely rotating. They were initially fired with coal and later with petroleum for a time.

In 1932, the SKGLB had to hand over operations on the Schafbergbahn to the BBÖ due to financial problems . It was not until 1943 that the Deutsche Reichsbahn classified the six machines as 99 7306–7311. With the restoration of the Republic of Austria, the locomotives returned to the possession of the ÖBB, which listed them in their numbering scheme as 999.101–106 in 1953. All six machines of the Schafbergbahn as well as the five of the Schneebergbahn received a Giesl ejector in 1952 (1 piece) and 1954 (10 pieces) , the externally most noticeable change to the locomotives. In 1974 the 999.101 was transferred from the Schafbergbahn to the Schneebergbahn due to the increased demand there.

In 2006 the Schafbergbahn was sold to Salzburg AG and now operates under the name Salzkammergutbahn . The still existing original steam locomotives are only used in nostalgia operation, as new steam locomotives with the series designation 999.2 were procured in 1996 . The Z 3 was given as an exhibit to Lokwelt Freilassing , the 999.105 is the property of the Technisches Museum Wien .

In 2007 the 999.101, which was parked at the end of the 1990s, was sold to the Schafbergbahn. For the 115th anniversary of the Schafbergbahn in 2008, it was refurbished and restored to its original condition.

SchBB / EWA Z 1−5

The five similar locomotives procured by the SchBB / EWA for the Schneebergbahn in 1896/97 and 1900 differed from the Schafbergbahn locomotives only in the inclination of the boiler, which was adjusted to the maximum gradient, and in the petroleum-firing system that was installed from the start. From 1899 the Aspangbahn (EWA) ran the Schneebergbahn.

When the EWA was taken over by the BBÖ in 1937, the five locomotives were classified as the Zz series  . In 1938, the Deutsche Reichsbahn assigned it to its vehicle fleet as 99 7301–7305. The ÖBB designated it from 1953 as 999.01–05.

In 1996, a separate operating company for the Schneebergbahn was founded, the Niederösterreichische Schneebergbahn GmBH (NÖSBB) . Since 1998, the steam locomotives have only been used on the Schneebergbahn in nostalgia mode, as the diesel -powered salamander railcars were purchased at that time , which have since carried the bulk of the traffic.
