Their Depots


Linzer Lokalbahn
LiLo

There are depots at Eferding, Waisenkirchen and Peuerbach.

Biggest and main depot is at Eferding where the LilO crosses the OBB Wels-Aschach a d Donau line. Here there are two buildings, the upper Picture shows a two lane shed capable of holding a two car unit at the Linz end of the station. The newer shed with three lanes and an apron area of similar size is located at the other end of the station. Both were still in use in 2004. A number of locos and units stand outside when not in service. Access is by boarded crossings and paths from the station.

At Wiesenkirchen there is a small two lane shed, with units often parked elsewhere in the sation and depot area.

At Peuerbach, a single lane depot stands at the abslute end of the line, and units park alongside when awaiting early morning services. Again the yard is used for parked units. A total of 5 when visited in September 2004.

The depot at Haag stands next to the station, and the yard is alongside the depot and stretches some way along the line. The depot is single track.

Lambach - Vorchdorf (LVE),
Gmunden - Vorchdorf (GV)

The depot is shared between the two lines, having three lanes in the main building. One is the narrow gauge, as is the now unused lean-to alongside. The extensive yard between the two Vorchdorf stations and the depot is used to store many items, including equipment from other lines awaiting repair.

Vocklamarkt - Attersee (VA)

The depot is in Attersee town, close to the lake. It exactly faces the station and the end of the line acts as the storage yard. The depot is double track.
