C. Hager and P. Wegenstein P. Steyrtalbahn (1998) A history of the STB, with colour and black- and-white pictures, maps, some drawings. Description of the line, roster, a couple of personal accounts of bike trips along the remaining right of way, station track plans, etc. Unfortunately, insufficient information and no drawings of the rolling stock, nor drawings of the stations. Also, the map shows the line only, lacking topographical and other information which would set the line in its larger context. Otherwise, an excellent resource for the modeller, the fan, and a pleasure to read, since it’s written in a clear and readable style (perhaps explained by the fact that neither author has an academic title). **½ (2004)
