SOMMERSONNENWENDE IN DER WACHAU, Regiobahn Event, 22nd June, 2019.
Message from Harald Süß. On the 18 August 2019 we will celebrate the “130 years Steyrtalbahn” anniversary . As we don´t know how many steam engines will be operable in the summer, we´ll only organise a station festival in Grünburg. Services between Steyr and Grünburg will run as normal.
In Grünburg visitors may expect:
– an exhibition of steam and diesel locos, maintenance vehicles and post car F 8460.
– local rides operated by 3 Kleinwagen (X 610, X 616, X626/VT 95) from Grünburg to Waldneukirchen and back between 10.00 and 17.00.
– a jumble sale of railway books.
– maybe a stand of FerroTrain
– catering service
– train mailing with postmarking in F 8460 on the 17.00 service from Grünburg to Steyr.
Mr. Neumann, from FerroTrain, also told me he plans to produce Kleinwagen X616.901 and X616.903 from the Steyrtalbahn (and others of type X616) in correct livery for the occasion.
