The Austrian locomotive decorated for the Football European Championships, 1116 005-8 is passing Payerbach-Reichenau with a Vienna-bound InterCity train
(Südbahn - Semmeringbahn)
The steam locomotive you can see in the background, 95.112 was originally bought by BBÖ as class 82 and used around Vienna and for freight trains to Hungary and Czechoslovakia so they didn't have to use the turntable at the foreign station. Until the electrification of the Semmering Railway, finished in 1959, they were used for bankers on the mountain line.
