TTR078 Austrian railways part 2 south of Vienna

We examine the railways south of Vienna to the Hungarian and Slovenian borders. We see the OBB at work and  also a  private operator - the Steiermärkische Landesbahn (StLB) who run two lines in the area:  the standard gauge  line from Feldbach to Bad Gleichenberg sees ancient EMUs  hauling short strings of modern freight vans! while the Feistritztalbahn runs 760mm gauge steam trains between Weiz and Birkfeld. Running east from Graz is the Steirische Ostbahn, a relatively unknown line linking Austria with Hungary through Szombathely and Györ. Lots of green MAV freight wagons here! The last station on the Südbahn  is Spielfeld-Strasse. This is the border exchange point with  Slovenian Railways. Strange looking electric locomotives with French antecedents take over from modern OBB machines and head for Ljubljana and the Adriatic. Finally in Graz we are back in the 21st Century and visit the Hbf and the high tech Graz Cargo centre. Narrated  RT 82 mins.
