Narrow Gauge Railway Delivers Meals to the Elderly in 2012




The literal translation of the caption below:

The light railway in Lainz Geriatiezentrum Wienerwald and Hietzing Hospital through the transporting food from the central kitchen to the pavilion. There battery and diesel locomotives are used on the 1904-built 500 mm supply rail. Originally from about 4000 m long annular rail network still about 1400 m are in operation. As the geriatric center will be closed by 2015, probably also ends the operation of the last wiener light railway. According to press reports the operation in December 2011, was unfortunately set.
