Ernstbrunn is home to a true gem of railway history: the heritage locomotive 93.1364. This historic steam locomotive, on display at the local station, attracts both railway enthusiasts and families. It was built in Austria in the 1920s and served for a long time on the local railways in the Weinviertel region. Despite the decommissioning of the Class 93 in 1976, some examples remained in reserve until 1982. On May 13, 2010, 93.1364 was ceremoniously installed at Ernstbrunn station after having been transported there by Ernstbrunner Kalktechnik. Weighing approximately 60 tons, it is an impressive testament to the era of steam locomotives. Visitors have the opportunity to inspect the steam locomotive and learn more about the history of railways in the region. The station also serves as the starting point for the Leiser Berge NostalgieExpress, which runs with historic steam and diesel locomotives from Vienna South Station to Ernstbrunn.
