Die Ybbstalbahn
The M i Xe d t R A i N


The Ybbstalbahn was one of the last ÖBB services to operate mixed trains : carrying both passengers in coaches and freight in wagons behind a single locomotive.

This page shows views of mixed trains in the 1980s. As the key to these is in the detail, you may click on the small pictures and you will see a very large (but slow to load) version.
