The 1116 075-1 Switzerlandlok between Payerbach-Reichenau and Küb

(Südbahn - Semmeringbahn)

As a Taurus can only pull 600 tons uphill helpers are added. Usually an old 1142 is added to push and another to help pull at Gloggnitz, but due to track maintenance this time they added the helpers at Payerbach station instead. They usually don't use Taurus locomotives as helpers as older types perform better under bad rail conditions. picture
