The 2045s were a 20-strong fleet of diesel-electric locos built for Austria by Simmering-Graz-Pauker in Wien-Floridsdorf in the post-war years. The first – 2045.08 – was withdrawn in 1979; five class members did not last long enough to receive the new post-1985 numbers; and the final examples were finally withdrawn on 1st May 1993.
Survivors
7 of the 20 locos survive in preservation – 2045 001 / 002 / 009 / 012 / 015 / 019 / 020, all of which remain in Austria.
Above is a link to a YouTube video uploaded by user Christian Knop showing a 2045 in service in the 1980s.
Forthcoming Workings
There are no known forthcoming passenger workings for any of the 2045s.
