European Railroad Discussion > The Zillertalbahn: The other railway out of Jenbach, Austria

I opted to ride the Achenseebahn which conflicted with riding the daily steam-powered train on the Zillertalbahn south out of Jenbach. While I could have ridden a diesel-powered train to Mayrhofen and back in the afternoon, I had already planned to return to Innsbruck to ride the tram to Fulpmes and return (previously posted). But I did make good use of my time in Jenbach to capture a variety of Zillertalbahn equipment.

1. Upon arrival in Jenbach, I saw the steam engine getting ready for its late morning departure with the help of little 0-4-0 side-rod shunter D12.

2. Outside the engine house was this narrow gauge 'box cab' diesel D16. This is a German-built GLG (Gmeinder Lokomotivenfabrik GmbH) model D75BB. The gauge is 760 mm, about 30 inches.

3. A DMU prepares to depart for Mayrhofen. I think every other train that I saw was diesel-powered.

4. The Internet says that this 0-4-0 side rod D12 was built in 1959 (!) by Orenstein & Koppel in Germany and acquired secondhand by the Zillertalbahn. Also that the identical D11 gave its transmission as a donor to keep the D12 operable.

5. The Internet says that St[L]B (Steiermärkische Landesbahnen) VL23 is a diesel-hydraulic locomotive originally from Yugoslavia and on lease to the Zillertalbahn.

6. Not sure why they have what looks like a mining locomotive. And I have no idea what that dark green shunter behind it is.

7. A passenger train arrives from Mayrhofen in push mode.

8. For some reason I really like these box cab diesels each of which wears a different mountain-themed paint scheme. This is D15 on a train bound for Mayrhofen.

9. The paint scheme is even different from one side to the other. Here is the reverse side of D15. Still raining.

And it is remote controlled! (Ferngesteuertes Fahrzeug)
