Achenseebahn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Achenseebahn is a 6.78 km long metre gauge railway running between Jenbach and Seespitz on Lake Achensee within the Tyrol area of Austria. Some sections are so steep that it is necessary for a rack to be utilised making it Europe's oldest steam operated cog railway. Within its length it rises some 440 m. The steeper sections use the Riggenbach rack system.
