    As a practical matter it is entirely possible - but frowned upon - to run German electric-system settings in Austria and vice-versa (the differences are in details, not core function). However, IIRC it isn't hard to set up the Railpool Vectron for Austrian running.

    ------------------------------------
    Prefixes for passenger service are RJ (Railjet), RJX (Railjet Express) and NJ (Nightjet); these are Austria's rough equivalent to the ICEs in Germany (in price and comfort, if not speed). Then come the EC (Eurocity), followed by the REX (Regional Express) and R (regional), basically the equivalent of the German RE and RB; finally there is S-Bahn commuter rail around major cities.

    There is no LZB on Semmeringbahn, just PZB

    As mentioned above, the Semmeringbahn has no LZB, regardless of whether you have to switch it on for the points and an LZB marker appears. You can easily tell whether a route has LZB or not by the cable in the middle of the tracks.

    Tracks without LZB:

    Tracks with LZB:

    A train with LZB equipped and turned on, running on non-LZB tracks, will simply peg the blue marker to the train's Vmax. Ignore it.
