Anyone know what ? stands for? Euro peut-être? -- Picapica 22:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Yup - don't know what Phlebas did in his edits to screw them up. -- Arwel 22:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Steam
Not sure what a "regular steam locomotive" is. Would it be a loco which was in use for running timetabled services? Was it retured or broken up?
 * Probably. I was going to suggest "standard gauge steam locomotive", but then I remembered that the narrow-gauge Zillertalbahn isn't ÖBB! -- Arwel (talk) 15:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I think 'Standard Gauge Steam Locomotive' would be right. Until a couple of weeks ago, the ÖBB were still running the metre gauge Schafbergbahn with steam.


 * I guess what the author had in mind was both: 'A Standard Gauge Steam Locomotive which was in use for running timetabled services'. This ended in 1978 on the standard gauge network with some class 52 2-10-0 "Kriegslok" and class 93 2-8-2 tank engines. Some narrow gauge lines remained (partially) run by steam for some more years. --Herbert Ortner 14:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Logo
The recently uploaded logo (Image:ÖBB-Logo.jpg) is an old one. It cannot be found anywhere on the ÖBB web site. &lt;KF&gt; 21:50, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * This one is now officially replaced by the new one, but it will take some time before it will disappear from all rolling stock, buildings, busses etc. --Herbert Ortner 13:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Electrification
96% of the Austrian rail system is electrified

Seems a bit too much to me. I don't know exact figures, but around 70% should come close. There are still some longer minor lines around the country, running by diesel. --Herbert Ortner 13:54, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Route map
Where can I find a route map of the ÖBB? I am travelling from Vienna to Spittal an der Drau and back in late July and would be very interested in seeing the route that the train is going to take. J I P | Talk 19:08, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Wrong numbers
The numbers stated here do not agree with the numbers of the article written in German:

Two examples:
 * 11.000km of railways, 70% electrified.
 * 41.951 employees

Someone such checkout the precise figures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.56.58.63 (talk) 13:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Improving this article, and the ÖBB on wikipedia in general
This article is in rather poor shape alas, along with most aspects of rail in Austria - we need to bribe the Deutsche Bahn contributors to jump trains for a bit! I'll try and improve it, and also add a new ÖBB category like the DB one to link up to the various other aspects of the network. Mu2 19:14, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've made a nice category box for Austrian Railways, I hope you like and it encourages others to contribute! Mu2  20:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Combine -transfer - all info into Infobox rail network

 * Is this a request to use this other template? I'm not sure we need it, for example it's not used over at Deutsche Bahn. Mu2  20:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Image substitution
I am planning on substituting the current image of the OEBB 1016 electric locomotive with this images, which I think gives a better perspective and better understanding of how this locomotive looks like. Any comments before I do the change please? Thanks.
