Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA)
Attergaubahn
The Lokalbahn Vöcklamarkt-Attersee, also known as the Attergaubahn, is a
metre gauge electric railway in the Austrian Salzkammergut region. It
connects the town of Attersee (on lake of the same same) with Vöcklamarkt on
the Westbahn main line between Vienna, Linz and Salzburg.
The railway was opened on 14th January 1913. It is 75.9% owned by the Stern
& Hafferl Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH, 10.5% by the Land of Oberösterreich, as
well as other investors. It is 13.4 km long and electrified with 750V DC. It
connects with boat services on Attersee run by Atterseeschiffahrt, also
owned by Stern & Hafferl. Stern & Hafferl also ran power stations and all
their railways were electrified.
Early trains were hauled by small four-wheel tram-like vehicles hauling
trailers.
Stern & Hafferl vehicles are owned by the individual companies, plus some by
Stern & Hafferl themselves. The first two digits in the numbering system
show ownership:-
20 - Stern & Hafferl
22 - Linzer Lokalbahn (LiLo) - standard gauge
23 - Gmunden-Vorchdorf (GV) - metre gauge
24 - Lambach Vorchdorf (LV) - standard gauge
25 - Lambach Haag (LH) - standard gauge
26 - Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA) - metre gauge
Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA) ET 26 104 (previously ET 20
104) was built in 1913
by Ganz for the Pressburgerbahn. It was regauged when acquired in 1941. It is now
part of the museum fleet used on vintage
train services.

Vöcklamarkt-Attersee (VA) units ET 26 106 and ET 26
107 (previously ET 20 108) were both built by Düwag in 1936 as Rheinbahn 118
and 119. (Rheinbahn 109 and 110 were also bought and used on
Gmunden-Vorchdorf). Having travelling on these fine trams in 1974 it was a
real pleasure to see them still in regular service in 1989. Both cars are
now preserved in Germany.
