Welcome to the 10th edition of our magazine for  European rail enthusiasts. First we visit Austria to see how the railways are coping with winter and to have a look at the new arrangements for EC trains to Poland and the Czech Republic  resulting from the closure  of Wien Südbahnhof for rebuilding. Part two  is a short medley! We visit two narrow gauge railways  in France: at Chamonix the Chemin de fer du Montenvers -normally known simply as the  Mer de Glace-  a branch line from the “international” narrow gauge cross border railway to Martigny on the Simplon in Switzerland  and then the Chemin de fer de La Mure-  a delightful electric railway south of Grenoble.  We head north for our next chapter and visit a small railway on the Rhein near Colmar - the Chemin de fer touristique du Rhin – a standard gauge railway  operated  by the same company that runs the Rhine side docks at Breisach. Our fourth instalment takes us deeper into France to the city of Montluçon  on France’s main cross country route Lyon to Bordeaux. It’s June 2009 and  a special steam day. Our final section comes from Hungary. Budapest has a fascinating tram network and a standard gauge mainline system that sees more international trains starting or terminating than Vienna or Cologne! 65 mins
