Re: Happy Easter Steam, narrow gauge

Spending Easter with 80 steam engines sounds like even more fun than searching for easter eggs back in Ohio. Your connection of trains with Easter brought to mind this picture taken on May 29, 1974 (okay, a little after Easter), where the setting has a definite Easter feel to it. It shows 2'6" gauge Steyrtalbahn 0-6-2T 298.53 leaving Garsten, Austria with a morning passenger train for Klaus on a perfect day 45 years ago. You can practically hear the church bells ring in the background.
