Anyone know what ? stands for? Euro peut-être? -- Picapica 22:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Steam
Not sure what a "regular steam locomotive" is. Would it be a loco which was in use for running timetabled services? Was it retured or broken up?
- Probably. I was going to suggest "standard gauge steam locomotive", but then I remembered that the narrow-gauge Zillertalbahn isn't ÖBB! -- Arwel (talk) 15:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I think 'Standard Gauge Steam Locomotive' would be right. Until a couple of weeks ago, the ÖBB were still running the metre gauge Schafbergbahn with steam.
- I guess what the author had in mind was both: 'A Standard Gauge Steam Locomotive which was in use for running timetabled services'. This ended in 1978 on the standard gauge network with some class 52 2-10-0 "Kriegslok" and class 93 2-8-2 tank engines. Some narrow gauge lines remained (partially) run by steam for some more years. --Herbert Ortner 14:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
The recently uploaded logo (Image:ÖBB-Logo.jpg) is an old one. It cannot be found anywhere on the ÖBB web site. <KF> 21:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
- This one is now officially replaced by the new one, but it will take some time before it will disappear from all rolling stock, buildings, busses etc. --Herbert Ortner 13:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Electrification
96% of the Austrian rail system is electrified
Seems a bit too much to me. I don't know exact figures, but around 70% should come close. There are still some longer minor lines around the country, running by diesel. --Herbert Ortner 13:54, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
