Someone discovered this old German steam locomotive in 2002 near the AMC hospital in Amsterdam (the Netherlands).

Because I spend my holidays often in Carinthia in Austria I added some Austrian subject to this website. My holidays by train, which I started in 2004, enlarged my interest in the Austrian Railways.
 
 
Picture above: The Rosenbachviaduct across the Bärengrabenvalley. This bridge is a part of the Rosental railwayline between Klagenfurt and Jesenice via Rosenbach. The picture was taken by me on the 28th of July 2005 from a special steamtrain between Faak am See and Ferlach.
