Eine wirklich sehr schöne Mitfahrt auf der historischen österreichischen Franz Josefs-Bahn, die (in die andere Richtung) von Gmünd weiter über Budweis und Pilsen bis nach Eger führt, und die (noch) eine der letzten ÖBB-Strecken mit planmäßigem Linksverkehr ist, obschon auf allen zweigleisigen Abschnitten Gleiswechselbetrieb eingerichtet ist und die Züge auf beiden Gleisen fahren können. Das zweite Gleis wurde zwischen Gmünd und Absdorf-Hippersdorf in mehreren Etappen entfernt; heute denkt man daran, es - zumindest teilweise - wieder zu errichten. Kaiser Franz Joseph hätte nach dem Ansehen dieses Videos sicher gesagt: "Es war sehr schön, es hat Mich sehr gefreut!" Dank an RailRelaxation für diese interessante Strecke! - A really lovely ride on the historic Austrian Franz Josef Railway, which runs (in the other direction) from Gmünd via Budweis and Pilsen to Eger, and is (still) one of the last ÖBB routes with scheduled left-hand traffic, although track switching is set up on all double-track sections and trains can run on both tracks. The second track was removed in several stages between Gmünd and Absdorf-Hippersdorf; today there are plans to rebuild it - at least in part. After watching this video, Emperor Franz Joseph would surely have said: "It was very nice, I was very pleased!" Thanks to RailRelaxation for this interesting route! - Um passeio muito bom na histórica ferrovia austríaca Franz Josefs, que continua (na outra direção) de Gmünd via Budweis e Pilsen até Eger, e que (ainda) é uma das últimas rotas da ÖBB com tráfego regular pela esquerda, embora a pista operações de mudança foram instaladas em todos os trechos de via dupla e os trens podem circular em ambos os trilhos. A segunda pista foi removida entre Gmünd e Absdorf-Hippersdorf em várias etapas; Hoje as pessoas estão pensando em reconstruí-lo - pelo menos parcialmente. Depois de assistir a este vídeo, o Imperador Franz Joseph certamente teria dito: “Foi muito lindo, Me deixou muito feliz!” Obrigado à RailRelaxation por esta rota interessante!

A varied journey - both in terms of landscape and weather! Luckily it didn't rain heavily, that would have been a problem for the cameras mounted outside, you can sometimes hear it from the wind pulling on the microphone, so it can only be mounted outside and not in the driver's cab! Zvonimir Zelenika once kindly described in a comment that two cameras are mounted for safety reasons, thus minimizing the risk of just one device failing 👍👌 There are two scenes in which the image suddenly has a different color depth and position for a short time: right at the beginning and in Ziersdorf station... Image problems were probably bridged by simply using footage from the other camera for a short time 😊 Overall a wonderful journey, I'm always fascinated by the different cloudy skies - a much more varied image than just blue skies 👍👋

@1:26:44 no, this has nothing to do with the Flemish painter Rubens. It's a "Rübenplatz" - a siding intended primarily for the loading of sugar beets (German "Zuckerrübe"). These are mainly used during the yearly "beet campaign" ("Rübenkampagne") in September-November, and often sit idle for the rest of the year. It's literally just an open area ("Platz") where piles of beets are offloaded by the local farmers for transshipment.

Also, they are limited to 120 km/h and have poor acceleration, which makes them an obstacle on busy lines. Apart from that they are not barrier-free (which is now required by law, they only survive on exemptions), they have no A/C (it really can get hot in them in summer), etc ... Sure, us rail freaks like them for the nostalgia and the ability to open the window and feel the wind 🙂- but that's not what a typical customer would expect.

@@RailRelaxation Yeah, I don't think they will. Because I actually sent an email to them, stating that it's a vital connection to both Gmünd and Vienna for the village people. They just answered, they wouldn't reopen the station, citing low ridership - which, in my opinion, is nonsensical, because in recent years, and even before 2015, the year of closure, people have been moving from Vienna to my little village, to escape the city atmosphere. At least 3 families' worth of people would be taking the train, that I know of, if they hadn't closed the station. Nevermind the fact, that our state's government likes to fund the very railway company that keeps on closing stations, with taxpayer money. Meanwhile, our mayor was busier building a solar farm than advocating the station not be closed. To put the icing on top of the cake, just months before closure, taxpayer money from the village folk, was taken to elongate the station platform - at a cost of a sweet €1+ million euros. For absolutely nothing. What had made me happy, watching your video, is that you actually included just about every single station shown, that got closed. Illustrating that, if you're living in the countryside, rail infrastructure has been crumbling for decades, all the while ÖBB keeps showing off their "great extension of their rail networks", and politicians telling us countryside residents to stop using cars and "taking advantage of public transport some more". Maybe that ÖBB part is true in regards to bigger towns, and villages close to Vienna, but it's certainly false for where I'm from... Sadly, not only have they closed these stations mentioned in the video, but entire lines were canceled. Such as the "Pulkautalbahn", a vital connector between 3 separate still-in-service-today lines (the Franz-Josefs-Bahn, aka Gmünd/České Velenice to Vienna and Wiener Neustadt/Payerbach-Reichenau; the Nordwestbahn, aka Retz/Znojmo to Vienna and Wiener Neustadt; and the Nordbahn, aka Laa a.d. Thaya to Vienna), the connecting railway between FJB at Schwarzenau, between Schwarzenau and Zwettl and so many more...

@@marcelbinder2150 Focusing on high-end (high-speed lines, major corridors) very often leads in many countries to ignoring, cutting and closing of local and regional lines. This has unfortunately happened in many countries, often railways don't know how to scale-down the operation for low density lines so it's easier to close them than to find a efficient way to operate them.

Historically, it was an important line and a major connection between Vienna and Bohemia (today Czech Republic), as line from Gmund diverged towards Prague on one hand and to České Budějovice (Budweiss), Plzen and Karlovy Vary (I would say that beer was probably large percentage of cargo). With the dissolution of KuK monarchy in 1918 and especially after 1945 and Iron Curtain, many lines between Austria and other countries that previously formed the KuK monacrhy were either completely closed or downgraded from mainlines to local and branch lines with much less cargo and passenger traffic, with removal of second track on many places.

A nice cabride, thank you! But man, that engineer really needs to be taught how to do efficient and consistent braking into the stations - no wonder the substantial delay. These trainsets can easily handle 80 to 100 kph approaching the mostly quite long platforms.

Möglich wäre der zweigleisige Ausbau überall, aber Bedarf ist nur sehr begrenzt gegeben, hauptsächlich wird es darumgehen wenn die Spange Sigmundsherberg - Horn fertig ist und man den Nahverkehr verdichtet das man Kreuzungen fliegend abwickeln kann und nicht in Bahnhöfen Zeit mit Warten verliert, gleichzeitig sorgt diese selektive Widerherstellung zweigleisiger Abschnitte das für den begrenzten Güterverkehr trotzdem genug Restkapazität bleibt. Aber an kaiserliche Zeiten wird dies FJB nie mehr anschließen können, nicht im Güterverkehr und auchnicht im Fernverkehr

very little of them, there is no real capacity issues. In the main railway era it was a main line conneciting bohemia to the capital vienna of the austrian empire, world war 1 split it up to different countries, world war 2 delivered the iron curtain and killed the most former traffic, the reason it gone to single track because the traffic is gone and will never come back, the czechian prefer Vienna - Brno - Praha as the main line, not this railway, there will be no push to improve the status, the local status will deliver little changes now, mainly a new track Horn - Sigmundsherberg is planed to be able to run direct trains to vienna, additionally there are double track sections planed to be able to run commuter trains faster and not have to wait for the other direction service arrives, no real perspective for getting a full double track line again
