The steam locomotive "RAKETE" was a passenger locomotive of the KFNB . It was the first machine delivered to the KFNB by the Jones, Turner & Evans locomotive factory in 1839 and corresponded to the English types with axle formula 1A1 (see " AUSTRIA " and " VINDOBONA "). The cylinders were arranged under the smoke chamber and drove the cranked second axle.
The "RAKETE" was scrapped in 1861 .
