  • Plus if the destination lies on a higher sea level you may want to put the locomotive at the rear to push the wagons uphill (especially if you have a driving trailer). One of the reasons being that uphill pushing doesn’t strain the couplers like uphill pulling does and that with a driving trailer there is no need for a locomotive to be rearranged for every drive to be in the front where you have the best view and train control.

    Also putting the locomotive in the back allows for better driving control and stability, “particularly when travelling downhill.” This allows “the train to be backed up into a siding or other area without having to turn the locomotive around. This can be particularly useful in situations where there is limited space for turning a locomotive or where it would be impractical to do so.”

    Viennese - which means you are nice at heart but constantly act and look extremely pissed because of city & life stress… Viennese are extremely attracted to folks who consume massive amounts of Ottakringer beer and Lebakas-Pepi Klassik Lebakas-Semmls and speak the hardest Viennese accent.

    The end result looks somewhat like this: https://youtu.be/4w0Nf7hxeSc

    Definitely, I like their predecessor too with their more rounded nose, and their oldest model in operation is a classic in design at this point. Tbh the Wiener Linien & ÖBB both chose and choose great designs for their fleets which is good thinking since they are part of the city picture after all.
