In the summer of 2005, again researching for the ARG Murtalbahn Booklet we we came upon U11 performing a sonderzug for a Swiss Alpine band. The weather was terrible, so the only Murau video is inside the depot. However the rain did ease for the last trip of the day to St Lorenzen with a single coach.

		The opening sequence is taken from the fuelling point, and shows the weather. Moving inside we look round the depot, and over the panels of U11 as it prepared for its later run. Clip 1 Keeping dry.
		St Lorenzen was the destination for a one coach train, possibly a steam driving experience, and we watched U11 fuss around its single charge before returning tender first to Murau. Clip 10 Arrival - Uncouple.. Clip 11 Off and Away. Clip 12 and off to Kreichberg. Clip 13 Back to the coach - boiler first. Clip 14 The Upperworks. Clip 15 Plates Crest and Cab. Clip 16 the underframes. Clip 17 Just about ready. Clip 18 Not Quite!. Clip 19 Off at last.

Such specials run throughout the summer, it's always worth checking. In addition StLB have their weekly Bummelzug - on video from Murau to Tamsweg.
