AUSTRIA? WHY AUSTRIA? You have to fly over a lot of interesting, enticing places to get to Austria. It doesn’t have
a national symbol like Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, or the Matterhorn. It doesn’t have a national food like French wine
or Swiss cheese and chocolate or German beer and sausages.
Because it’s a great place for the railfan, that’s why. Austria has variety: fast mainline railroading, branch lines, short lines, narrow gauge, steam, and streetcars. Austrian Federal Railways offers a diverse roster of motive power, and Austria’s scenery ranges from mountain passes to broad river valleys. Beyond that, there’s music, from Haydn and Mozart to The Sound of Music, good food and wine, and pleasant people. This book will help you decide not only what trains to ride but also where to stay and what to eat. |
