Sometimes they were double headed; red and green together. A pair of OBB 1189s pull a train up the Tauernbahn V2 route.

Thanks for your good wishes. We holidayed near Beauly ten years ago and I remembered this view and thought it would look nice in TS. I'm taking a break now for a month or two. Have fun and perhaps see you in the autumn.
Congrats IronBladder on yet another stunning shot, a worthy winner. Will miss your contributions, I look forward to how you will interpret the theme each week. Wishing you a happy & healthy break and welcome your return in the autumn. Best wishes
