#InterCity 291 to #Beograd 🇷🇸 via #Ljubljana 🇸🇮 and #Zagreb 🇭🇷 with through coaches from #Munich 🇩🇪 is seen here at #Finkenstein 🇦🇹 in July 2002. An #ÖBB Class 1110.500 electric is hauling the consist over the #Karawanken #Karavanke line between #Villach 🇦🇹 and #Jesenice 🇸🇮.

A photo I’ve taken in June 2020: an #ÖBB 🇦🇹 class 4024 #Talent EMU seen near #Finkenstein, working a #Villach-area S-Bahn service. What seems to be a sleepy single-track line in rural #Austria is, in fact, part of one of Europe’s major transit corridors: the #Istanbul Express and the #Hellas Express used to pass here, connecting Western to South-Eastern Europe by rail.
