The steam locomotives "ADLITZGRABEN" and "KAISERBRUNN" were passenger locomotives of the Vienna – Raaber (Gloggnitzer) Eisenbahn (WRB).
Since the trains were getting heavier and heavier, the power of the existing locomotives was insufficient to move the trains over the "mountain route" (7 ‰) from Wiener Neustadt to Gloggnitz . John Haswell therefore constructed a double-coupled machine with a front bogie in 1844 . They were given the names "ADLITZGRABEN" and "KAISERBRUNN". With these locomotives, balancers were used for the first time in Austria in order to prevent the relief and overloading of individual wheels and axles resulting from the irregularities of the superstructure. Similar machines were later ordered from the WRB and the Southern State Railroad (SStB). They were known as "Kleine Gloggnitzer".
Both locomotives came to the SStB in 1853 and with the numbers 808 and 807 to the Südbahn , which they dismantled in 1860 .
