This locomotive runs for trains of the Breitenauerbahn (Breitenau Railway) between the Styrian places Breitenau and Mixnitz. This narrow-gauge railway started in 1913. It was an electrified line since its very beginning.
The original purpose of that railway was to transport magnesite from a mine in Breitenau to the railway station Mixnitz. Though the line starts in a magnesite plant, the train journey of about 11 km offers colourful views of the Styrian countryside.
