512:. While diesel locomotives have been in use upon the Schafberg Railway since the 1960s, the railway's management has recognised the merit of continuing to operate steam traction with attracting tourists to the area; accordingly, during 1996, the Schafberg Railway took delivery of multiple new steam locomotives produced by SLM in Winterthur, Switzerland. These newer locomotives, unlike earlier units, have been designed to run on light oil instead of heavier

The work continued throughout the winter of 1892/93, being only suspended briefly during the most extreme weather conditions.

there were calls to construct a railway up the mountain to capitalise on these movements; a key advocate of the concept was the entrepreneur
Bertholt Curant. From the onset, the railway was envisioned for use primarily by tourists. It was also recognised that joint services could be offered with ferries across the adjacent lake.

A total of three locomotives were originally ordered to work the railway, the last of which being delivered during 1894.

Within roughly one year, all of the line's core features had been completed, enabling the railway to be opened for the first time on 1 August 1893. From end to end, the line stretches 5.85 km (3.65 miles), between the lakeside station at St
Wolfgang Schafbergbahnhof and the summit station of
