Last week at #Villach 🇦🇹 Hbf: #InterCity train #211 to #Vinkovci 🇭🇷 via #Ljubljana 🇸🇮 and #Zagreb 🇭🇷. Some carriages have got opening windows and come with cosy compartments and comfy seats. A few years back, this train, named “Sava”, included through cars from #Munich 🇩🇪 to #Belgrade 🇷🇸.

🇭🇷🚂🚃🚃 After a wonderful morning in #Zagreb🇭🇷, train №210 "Sava" is about to bring us to #Villach🇦🇹 via #Ljubljana🇸🇮. It's a wonderful day, and the beautiful retro livery of HŽ class 1142 "Lepa Brena" is shining in the sun. The engine will work this consist of SŽ & HŽ carriages until #Dobova🇸🇮.

#Villach 🇦🇹 Warmbad station at dusk.

Good morning from #Carinthia #Kärnten #Koroška 🇦🇹. As the mist dissipates, the #Gailtalbahn cyclist‘s train makes its return trip from #Hermagor to #Villach. This service comes with a large bicycle van and is worked by an #ÖBB class 1144 electric.

Warmbad #Villach 🇦🇹 is a spa resort in southern Austria. It’s also a spot on a busy railway line. The lovely station building dates from 1873: it is 150 years old and even comes with a train station buffet.

🇮🇹🚲🚆🇦🇹 Good morning with pictures from the classical "MICOTRA"-sprinter regional train, for me from #Udine🇮🇹 to #Villach🇦🇹. It's an abbreviation for "MIglioramento COllegamenti TRAnsfrontalieri", which means "Improvement of cross-border connections". They offer 2nd class seating + bicycles carriages and are therefore a supplement for the "Ciclovia Alpe Adria" cycle path🚲, north & south of the Carnic Alps🏔️.

Warmbad #Villach 🇦🇹 station earlier today. This is a busy line - freight and passenger - in the vicinity of #Italy 🇮🇹 and #Slovenia 🇸🇮. Northbound trains pass through on their way to #Germany 🇩🇪 and #Vienna 🇦🇹 (and some further on to #Slovakia 🇸🇰, #Poland 🇵🇱, #Hungary 🇭🇺 etc.)

July 1978: my first trip on board an all first class #TransEuropExpress. A boy’s dream came true: #Villach to #Salzburg 🇦🇹 with #TEE 90 “Blauer Enzian”. There was also a #DB 🇩🇪
@diningcar in the consist, yet out of reach for me as a teenager: the ticket price already stretched my budget to a maximum.

Warmbad #Villach 🇦🇹 in #Austria‘s very South. A nicely preserved building along a busy railway line to #Tarvisio 🇮🇹 and #Jesenice 🇸🇮. The train station is dwarfed by the adjacent thermal spa complex: its presence generates a substantial part of the passenger traffic by rail here.

With this picture of #Eurocity #Mimara I wish you all a happy, healthy and, above all, peaceful New Year!

Erst vor zwei Tagen hatte es in einem #Klagenfurt|er #Gymnasium #Kältealarm gegeben, als die Temperatur aufgrund einer defekten #Heizung auf 14 Grad gefallen war. Nun beutelte es erneut eine Schule in #Österreich: Schüler aus #Villach sind nun sogar in einen #Kältestreik getreten. Eine komplette Klasse, in deren Raum die Temperatur
auf 18 Grad gesunken ist, blieb Donnerstag - teils verkühlt, teils
aus Solidarität - daheim.
