High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Prater Liliputbahn is a 1 ft 3 in (381 mm) gauge light railway in Vienna, Austria. Opened on 1 May 1928, the line runs for almost 4 kilometres around the Prater park, an extensive public recreation area in the Austrian capital. A celebration of the centenary of the death of composer Franz Schubert occasioned the original construction of the railway. At its opening it ran for 2 kilometers to the current Rotunda Station. A design of 1 ft 3 in (381 mm) gauge locomotive was drawn up in 1923 by Chief Engineer Martens of the Munich-based Krauss and Company engineering company, based on a German standard gauge 4-6-2 design, and 20 of these locomotives were built between 1925 and 1950. Three from the second batch were ordered for the Prater Liliputbahn, and two were delivered, and are still operating there today; the order for the third engine was cancelled. An extensive stock of passenger coaches is sufficient to operate four passenger trains simultaneously; there is a limited stock of wagons.
