The steam locomotives "STIXENSTEIN" , "FORCHTENSTEIN" , "EBENFURTH" , "TRIEST", "KALKSBURG" and "KRANICHBERG" were six freight locomotives of the Vienna – Raaber (Gloggnitzer) Railway (WRB).
In 1848 John Haswell constructed two 1B locomotives, the "STIXENSTEIN" and the "FORCHTENSTEIN", which he envisioned as standard freight locomotives. This machine was followed by two identical locomotives in 1850 and 1852. They had an inner frame, an inner control system, but an outer cylinder, and in most dimensions they were the same as the passenger locomotives "ESTERHÁZ" to "LIESING" . The "TRIEST" was renamed to "WEILBURG".
The six locomotives crossed the kk Southern State Railways to Südbahn at which they received 276 the row number 9 (from 1864 15) and the numbers to the 281st They were retired in 1879 and 1885.
