lots of color here both in rollingstock and architechture

also i seem to remember seeing this no trespassing past platforms icon to be reminiscent of a certain 1951 era Sci Fi movie

Wow. Lots of changes to the Salzberg station including what looks to be an entirely new train shed since my last visit only a few years ago.

Brings back memories of my visits to Salzburg. The religious congregation I belong to has a house there, in Aigen, about a block from the station of the same name.

I love that they have integrated the original train shed into to the new station (in the 2nd photo) however it is now overwelmed by the new structure.
