?80,000,000 in revenue.

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. <KF> 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. JIP | 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)
