Diesel Shunters in Classes 206x |
 ÖBB x260 037-5 departmental loco at Salzburg remise 2 (2004) | ÖBB Class 2060:
These diminutive lightweight shunters were built between 1954
and 1962 at the works of Jenbacher Werke, in the Tyrol. 6.64
metres long and weighing in at only 27 tonnes, they nevertheless
has a nippy top speed of 60 km/h, with a low grearing for
shunting of 30 km/h. Allocated to yards and stations to
remove or attach odd wagons and coaches, their work has
decreased markedly in recent years. Originally the one
hundred locos were numbered 2060.01 to 2060.100, the
number system was changed in early 1985, with a
computer check digit being added as a suffix.
All have now been withdrawn, although a number survive as departmental locos, with their number changed from 2060 to x260. | |
 ÖBB 2061 101-6 at OGEG Ampflwang (loco owned by VEF Wien) (2004) | ÖBB Class 2061: A smaller class of shunter - there being only one - it was built by Deutz in 1940. Weighing 28 tonnes, and with a Deutz A6M324 motor driving a hydraulic final drive, the loco had a top speed of 60 km/h. It spent most of its' working life up to 1966 at St. Pölten, but was then transferred to the Leisinger Schleppbahn-Ges. in Wien until withdrawal in 1982, whereupon it was transferred to the custody of VEF. It resides (2004) in the Eisenbahnmuseum at OGEG Amplfwang | |
 ÖBB 2062 017-5 at Knittelfeld depot (1995)  ÖBB 2062 X262 049-1 (2001) | ÖBB Class 2062
Slightly larger than class 2060, this class of 65 locomotives
were also built at Jenbacher Werke, between 1958 and 1966.
Again a Bo 4-wheel engine, it was 9.91 m long, and weighed
32.3 tonnes With hydraulic Voith transmission, the class
2062 had a two-speed transmission, allowing 30 km/h for
normal duties, and a 60 km/h top speed when transferring
between bases.All 65 locos survived until 1998, but many
have been placed in the engineering or departmental service,
and have been renumbered into the x262 series. x262 049-1 is shown at Mallnitz-Obervellach, connected to a shore supply (mains) to keep the batteries charged. It is used on the Tauern Tunnel maintenance train, based there. | |
 ÖBB 2064 007-4 at Linz depot Vöest (2000) | ÖBB class 2064 : This class was planned by Jenbacher and although
a prototype was produced, none were ordered by OBB.
The loco shown carrying 2064 007-4 was then a standard JW DH600 WLB V80, specially numbered for a photographic event in Linz. (purchased in 1982 as V82 by the SLB) | |

 ÖBB 2066 001-5 at Wien Nord depot, | ÖBB Class 2066 This was built in the 1940s, and rebuilt by
St Polten Works in 1954 when strictly it became 2166 01.
However it was recently repainted in 1997
when photographed and still carried 2066. It is
understood to have been the works shunter at
both Florisdorf and Jedlerdorf Works. (1997)
Note the unusual livery | |
 ÖBB 2067 027-9 at Salzburg remise 1 depot (2004) | ÖBB class 2067 were built
by Simmering-Graz-Pauker in two batches, starting in 1959 at
the Florisdorf works, and ended here in 1967, 61 locos
having been built. They were followed by a second batch
of 26 built at the Simmering works between 1971 and 1984.
They were built as heavy-duty shunting locomotives, and
were used in pairs to hump-shunt some yards. Their 65 km/h
top speed, however, has been put to use on local goods trip
workings. 10.43 metres long, they weigh 48.3 tonnes.
The locos are fitted with diesel - hydraulic transmission,
and have an 0-6-0 (C) wheel arrangement.
In 1997 six of the locos were fitted with Caterpillar engines, replacing the SGP S12a engines. | |
 ÖBB 2068 001-3 at Wien Ost Depot (1997) 
ÖBB 2068 036-9 at Salzburg (2004) | ÖBB Class 2068
This class of diesel hydraulic shunters, the last provided by
Jenbacher Werke, for ÖBB, consist of two batches of
30 locomotives, used both for shunting and for
freight transfer work. The first five members of the
class, the prototypes delivered early in 1989, differ
from the production series, being shorter, lighter,
and with a different propulsion unit.
The main batch weigh 75.5 tonnes,
and are 13.77 m long. All locos have a
top speed of 100 km/h., and with Voith
hydraulic transmission, Flexicoil suspension
and 850 kW power, show a very surprising acceleration.
The cabs are provided with 4 sets of driving controls, allowing driving at either side, and in either direction. The spacious cabs have air conditioning, and are equipped for radio remote-control. Each loco has a shunters' platform at both ends, and some engines are equipped with automatic couplings, painted bright yellow. The locos can report faults automatically, via a computer link. |
