Summer Specials in Eastern Austria, July & August 2008
Steam, diesel and electric specials, some with rarely used (combinations of) locos. One scene from May with 629.01 pulling the weekend ErlebnisWeltBahn special to Ernstbrunn near Vienna, strange-looking DT 1.07 (3071.07) with the same special at a nearby location in August, some regular traffic in Marchfeld at sunrise, old railbus 5042.14 on the freight only branch line Vienna Liesing - Waldmühle, 1044.40 in nostalgic livery pulling a EuroCity to Croatia and 4061.13 with special at Vienna Atzgersdorf, 2050.04 GM-Henschel Diesel at Wiener Neustadt and 2050.04 & .02 double header at Vienna Hernals, Absdorf-Hippersdorf and in a race with modern 2016 diesel at Vienna Speising where also some scenes with regular traffic (Greece-Taurus, DB 151, 185) were taken. Finally a great steam special with 93.1420 & .1421 celebrating the 120 year anniversary of the Mühlkreis line Linz - Aigen-Schlägl with several scenes including one of the steepest standard gauge sections in Austria (which surprisingly isn't located in the Alps ;-)) and as conclusion the combined road-rail bridge across the River Danube in Linz only used for transferring trains (the same line also crosses the tram tracks shortly before reaching the bridge).
