The steam locomotives "Orpheus" , "Aeolus" and "Ulysses" were passenger locomotives of the KFNB . They were supplied by the William Norris locomotive factory in 1846 and had the axle formula 2'A. At that time, Norris had a locomotive factory in Vienna , from which only six locomotives were delivered, namely the three above-mentioned and three to the Kk Nördliche Staatsbahn . The KFNB machines mentioned above were rebuilt after 1853 . The table shows the differences in the dimensions.
All three locomotives were decommissioned in 1866 and sold to the Neumann company in Vienna .
