The scenes in this series of 4 DVDs were recorded from lineside in the late 1980s & early 1990s when Austrian Railways were still using some delightful old technology. Each DVD provides over one hour of viewing.

Part Four begins at Ybbs a/d Donau: a derailed freight train is unloaded with help from an unusual vehicle (for the railway). At Wieselburg a/d Erlauf we find narrow gauge ‘rollwagen’ being loaded – this labour-intensive process ended when the narrow gauge line was rebuilt to allow standard gauge wagons to run through to Gresten. A short cab ride on the Mariazellerbahn is followed by visits to the Donauuferbahn at Sarmingstein & Persenbeug, the Waldviertelbahn at Gmünd and the standard gauge at Sigmundsherberg. We finally reach Vienna and visit the Südbahnhof and “Das Heizhaus”, the Strasshof railway museum.
