A race to the West

The last week can be considered as rather nice time for railfans living in my region. A new company appeared, operating regular passenger services (every hour) along a stretch of the austrian Westbahn. (Wien-Salzburg, about 300 kilometers/) Their rolling stock consists of seven white/blue/green Stadler KISS doubledecker EMUs. Now there are 3 Intercity trains every hour, including the West 4010, ÖBB Railjet, ÖBB IC. Every second hour there is also an ICE (Operated with ÖBB 4011 and DB 411, both ICET7) so even 4 IC trains every second hour

Stadler KISS WEST:

Max speed:200kph/~125mph
no. of cars:6
Weight: 296 tons
Quantity: 7 trains
Max. Passengers: 501 seated
Axles: 24  (Bo'Bo'+2'2'+2'2'+2'2'+2'2'+Bo'Bo')
Number sceme: 93-85 4010 (001 to 007)

.  Westbahn AG is the first private company to finally start intercity passenger services within Austria using their own rolling stock. Visit their website if you want to know a bit more about the company: (german) westbahn.at/  (engli… westbahn.at/en




I cinda like that new livery compared to the pretty boring ÖBB and DB Verkehrsrot. Therefore I already went out to make some pics of their trains. Mostly at photoplaces you already know. Including: Hütteldorf, Wolf in der Au, Purkersdorf, Unter Purkersdorf and, of course, Dürrwien along the austrian Westbahn.

I'm going to upload the pics in the upcoming days



Well, as always: The actual list of vehicles that can be found in my gallery.
