European Railroad Discussion > An Evening at the main Vienna train station

Also known as the Wien Hauptbahnhof.

1. A Ventus Siemens-built Desiro ML family EMU in an attractive green and yellow scheme. This is a joint operation between the Austrian Raaberbahn and the Hungarian GYSEV (Gyor-Sopron-Ebenfurti Vasut). VOR stands for Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region or Eastern Region Transport Association.

2. This gets my vote for the most attractive wrap on a 1116-class Siemens Taurus locomotive. Leading an OBB railjet passenger train.

3. Another view of a Ventus EMU, a regional express to Bratislava-Petrzalka, Slovakia.

4. A more broadside view to show the wrap advertising the musical My Fair Lady.

5. Another OBB 1116-class Taurus with another unique wrap advertising the Austrian rail pass KlimaTicket or Climate Ticket. Several years back the cost was €1095 for a full year. At the proper angle one could see the original railjet paint scheme underneath the wrap.

6. Another early Signal Sunday. I would say that is a sufficiently permissive signal, some kind of diverging clear.

7. And finally, the Germans make an appearance with a DB bi-level, 411-class, Stadler-built KISS EMU Inter City train.

Really interesting series.

The signal in picture 6 shows a permitted speed of 60 km/h by that signal on the top head while the bottom one shows that the next signal is clear. The top head is a home signal while the bottom is an away signal, to use US parlance.
