The 300 metre-long private railway of Hr. Dieter Vogel, which
opened on 22 June 1991, runs from beside the SVB
at Hst Irlach, immediately south of
Hst St.Georgen bei Salzburg on the SVB.
The locomotive EH is a 600mm Gmeinder / Gebus - built
Bo diesel-electric, built in 1951 for the Zehmemoos
peat works, owned by Chemistie Linz AG. It has a 25 hp
engine, and weighs 4 tonnes in full working order.
The locomotive has a top speed of 16 km/h. The works
are to the north of Hst. Zehmemoos, the intermediate station
between Burmoos and Lamprechtshausen.
EH was acquired as surplus stock, by Hr. Vogel for use this private line.
