97.217: this loco is displayed in the market place at Vordernburg Markt. This village is a few km from Vordernberg. Both once had stations. This was one of the rack tanks used over the Iron Mountain to Eisenerz until the early 1970s. I was fortunate enough to see them in action in 1970. There was an attempt by preservationists to resurrect the service as the Erzbergbahn but this is now defunct.
