A “Driver’s Eye View” with the world’s longest serving steam locomotive - Graz to Köflach (Austria)
Take a ride with the world's longest serving steam locomotive between the major Austrian city of Graz to the peaceful tranquility of Köflach, passing attractive villages and pleasant countryside along the way. This little engine and its train of heritage carriages are a real credit those responsible for looking after them. The crew kindly allowed me to place a camera on the front of their locomotive giving us all a chance to enjoy the view usually reserved for the footplate crew.
Austrian built engine No.671 was completed in 1860 as a Südbahn Class 23 locomotive, it was sold by BBÖ to the Graz-Köflach railway (GKB) in the 1920’s were it is frequently used to haul steam specials.
