The steam locomotives "WIEN II" , "HIETZING" , "SCHÖNBRUNN" , "BELVEDERE" , "LICHTENSTEIN" and "ALTMANNSDORF" were passenger locomotives of the Vienna-Raaber Bahn , which was also called Vienna-Gloggnitzer Bahn at times .
These six locomotives were the first machines manufactured in the company's own machine works (later the StEG locomotive works ) under the direction of John Haswell . They were 1840 / 41 delivered. Since it was not yet possible to manufacture offset axles, they had a 2'A wheel arrangement based on the American model . The table gives several possible values where the information about the dimensions differ.
The first locomotive, of course, had to be called “VIENNA”; therefore the already existing “ WIEN ” was renamed “PRESSBURG”. The "SCHÖNBRUNN" exploded in 1847 . The remaining five machines came to the southern state railway in 1853 , which they retired in 1857 .
