The steam locomotives "Ödenburg" to "Semmering" were four passenger locomotives of the Vienna-Raaber Bahn , which was also called Vienna-Gloggnitzer Bahn at times .

These four locomotives were built by Sharp in Manchester . They were delivered in 1842 and were named "Ödenburg", "Klamm", "Schneeberg" and "Semmering".

The four machines came to the Staats-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (StEG) in 1855 , which assigned them the numbers 8-11 and sold them in 1861.
