There's something special about trains + snow + mountains. I crave Glühwein all of a sudden. 😂 (an SBB TWINDEXX IR200 train on the line from Sargans to St. Margrethen - not my vid, I'm just looking for inspiration)

This, some cheap chairs, and a bucket of wine or something. Train crossing between RJX 865 (Austrian) and ICE 118 (German) at the Flirsch train station (in the Austrian Alps) on the Arlberg Railway (on the Vienna to Zürich route).

Another random train for today, the Austrian "Weasel". It's a shuttle train for short distances, pictures and video from two different occasions. I really need a schnitzel emoji! 😂

You'll be more relaxed after this. Eisfelder-Talmühle train station, Harz Narrow Gauge Railways. (Credit to Olaf Berlig)

A random Austrian S-Bahn from this morning.

Just something to enjoy. (Fulda train station, Germany)

For autists, nerds and simple train enjoyers, a moment of relaxation.

The French Riviera to Vienna, day 3 For the last segment of our return home, we had a 4:23h trip with the Austrian RailJet. Wonderful as usual, and probably my favourite train. As previously stated, I was interested in the Udine to Vienna segment because of the completion of the new Koralm Railway, and I'll write more in a future post. For now, only a few pictures from the Udine train station. (As usual, I'll add the previous post and more as replies to this note.) View quoted note →

I had two nice short trips with the Viennese S-Bahn. When I moved to Austria, this was the train that made me love trains. 🤷 Here are a few train pictures and a video, plus some random pictures from the trip.

"Live" from an S-Bahn (Fast rail) in Vienna.

Because "you live, you learn", I discovered the budget version for the Bernina route, from Milan. 😂 While the Bernina Express goes from Chur or St. Moritz (Switzerland) to Tirano (Italy), I found a two-segment trip, from Milan to St. Moritz, with a change in Tirano. So the Tirano to St. Moritz is the reason for this, but way cheaper. I searched on Omio for February 12. Milan to Tirano, €13, around 2:35h, Trenitalia/Trenord (regional train). A lot of trains to choose from. Tirano to St. Moritz, €40, around 2:25h, with SBB. Again, a lot of departure times to choose from. I'll attach the video where I got the idea from as a reply, and it seems that you can actually find a lower price (€12,50 + €30). The video is in Italian, but I can translate it in the next few days if someone needs it. View quoted note →

Always a pleasure to watch Swiss variable gauge train switching from 1000 mm to 1435 mm gauge. 🤌 (From Railway Gazette International)

Il Settebello (ETR 300), called "The King of Italian Elegance", created in 1952.

Because sometimes I just need a (more or less) random reason to travel, I'll do the same for you. With the disclaimer that I prefer to live like a local most of the time, at least when I stay more than a weekend, here's the farmers' market from Cannes, Marché Forville. (I might add as a reply at some point.)
