Known around the world as the main location for the movie "The Sound of Music", Salzburg is also home to a small independent standard gauge railway, the Salzburg Lokalbahn. It runs from underneath Salzburg Hauptbahnhof up to Bürmoos, where a branch runs off to Trimmelkam, the main line continuing to Lamprechtshausen. Total journey time, about 45 minutes.
A busy commuter service is provided by light-rail style supertrams (which can just be spotted in a couple of the photos below), and there is a lot of freight traffic serving many varied industrial sidings along the route.
This weekend was their major Dampffest. There were 9 different vintage trains (steam electric and diesel) running various services, interlaced with the normal weekend service trains. I managed to travel on 6 of them using my 25 euro day ticket.
The German Branchline Fan Club ( http://www.lokalbahnverein.de )borrowed a BOBbahn Integral for the trip to Salzburg. I did consider buying a ticket, but an hour and a half from Munich is just too long on those hard seats
I also noticed that the BOBbahn is now operated by Connex 
Health and Safety? The two empty roads through the middle of the site are the main running lines for the special trains and the normal service trains. Trains moving everywhere, people wandering everywhere, no fences, no red and white plastic tape tied to everything, just a few trains whistles and lots of sensible people getting out of the way.
The Passau Railway Enthusiast's Club ( http://www.passauer-eisenbahn.de/ ) came from Germany in their own train:
Some of the trains in action:
A neat 2-8-2T loco (93):
An odd 2-4-0T with a long gap between the front pony wheels and the driving wheels at the rear, almost under the cab. It is like the one that comes with the Harzquerbahn route:
A medium sized 0-10-0 tender loco (657):
A big 2-8-4 loco (12.14):
Type 50 2-10-0. Unfortunately I missed this one in action, being at the wrong end of the branch line. Notice the snow on the distant mountains:
Another big 2-10-0:
The line also passes a little preserved narrow gauge line:
What can I say? A Draisine. In the background is an old trolley bus. I don't know how it got there as there are no wires in the area:
And finally, a ronik style photo (sorry you could not get there Roni):
