An #ÖBB 🇦🇹 Class 2143 diesel and #Schlieren carriages on a #Vienna bound train: a picture taken in 1991 at #Gmünd station. This is the #Waldviertel 🇦🇹 area, Austria’s very North. That section of the so-called Franz-Josefs-Railway wasn’t electrified yet, hence the diesel engine working this service.
