Wege aus Eisen im Waldviertel - Zur Geschichte der Eisenbahnen im Viertel ober dem Manhartsberg
In 1914 the Waldviertel was criss-crossed by a fairly impressive network of railway lines. In addition to the Franz Josef Railway, which began operations on 1 November 1869 from Eggenburg to the current state border and further to Budweis, the branch line to Absdorf-Hippersdorf was opened three years later.
In addition, the connections from Hadersdorf am Kamp to Sigmundsherberg and further to Zellerndorf in the Weinviertel are particularly worth mentioning, but also smaller standard gauge lines that no longer exist today, such as those to Martinsberg-Gutenbrunn, Zlabings or Raabs.
In this book, Peter Wegenstein pays attention to the history of the main lines as well as to the local railway lines that have disappeared. The author examines in detail the history of the Waldviertel railway lines and their stations, documenting the creation, prosperity and decline of the railways.
The history of the narrow-gauge lines from Gmünd to Groß Gerungs and from Gmünd to Litschau and Heidenreichstein is also presented in detail.
Peter Wegenstein also deals with special topics of Waldviertel railway history such as the divided railway town of Gmünd, the "Bridge of Sighs" on the Franz Josef Railway between Hötzelsdorf-Geras and Irnfritz and the so-called "Teufelsbruckn" in front of Schwarzenau.
More than 100 historical and current photos show the trains on all routes with a wide variety of vehicles, but also what is left of some of the branch lines. Reports recall the time when the railways were private railways and made a net profit.
