Murtalbahn
Tamsweg

The StLB-owned Murtalbahn between Tamsweg (Salzbergerland) and Unzmarkt (Steirmark) has three sheds: this one, at Tamsweg, next to the station building (on the right), normally houses one of the DMU sets overnight, together with several StLB buses. There is a fuel pump outside, used by both. The railway connection into the station joins Gleis 2 rather than 1, and bisects a platform.

Murtalbahn
Murau

The main offices and works are at Murau Stozalpe, at the Unzmarkt end of the station. Road access from the A96/97 junction is past the station, then left over the level crossing, and left again. The complex includes repair workshops, stabling and servicing for the DMUs, diesel locos and steam engines, and covered accommodation for the historic coaching stock. There are also two goods sheds.

Murtalbahn
Unzmarkt

StLB's shed at Unzmarkt houses just one locomotive, and can be accessed from the minor road westwards from the station entrance towards the river and the hamlet of Wallerbach.
