The EEG - Linz to Ebensee were ten passenger train - narrow-gauge locomotives with 1,106 mm gauge of the kk priv. First Railway Company (EEG) for the operation on the horse-drawn railway Budweis – Linz – Gmunden . They had become necessary as the horse-drawn railroad faced increasing competition from locomotive-powered railways.
The vehicles were designed by Johann Zeh at the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik in 1855 . They were given the company numbers 1–10 and the names LINZ , WELS , LAMBACH , GMUNDEN , ROITHAM , TRAUNFALL , ENGELHOF , LAAKIRCHEN , ISCHL and EBENSEE .
They were retired in 1883 after the kkStB G had taken over the operation on the narrow-gauge line.
