On October 22, 2024, the Roma – Wien Nightjet 40294 was 1h30 late, but the fog was still there. In Eichberg, the sun was barely starting to dissipate it.

Cargo worth several million Euro glints gold at it climbs the Semmering. The location, Km 89.5 near Eichberg, is the western exit of the Geyregger tunnel whose portal makes a nice foreground.
The cars are C3 Citroën (Stellantis), manufactured in Trnava, Slovakia (60km east of Bratislava). They are travelling toward western Europe or perhaps to a seaport for exportation.

22-10-2024 – Between Eichberg and Klamm, the IC 359 Wien - Graz passes the short Geyeregger Tunnel on the spectacular section of the Semmering line (Gloggnitz – Spital am Semmering). At this time of the year and hour, the interior of the tunnel is almost entirely lit by the sun.
The train is one of the remaining classic locomotive-hauled trains composed with a 1144 and traditional passenger cars. Other long-distance trains are either modern Railjets, or 4046 EMUs, and some ICs or ECs are hauled by Taurus 1016 / 1116 / 1216 engines.

The Railjet 75 “Vindobona” Prague (08:44) – Graz (15:33) is fighting gravity as it climbs the north Semmering grade. The OBB “Taurus” 1216-238 is in charge. The cars are Czech ČD (České Dráhy) Railjet Series Passenger Carriages similar to those of the ÖBB, built by Siemens.
The train has just passed the Weinzettelwand-Tunnel, composed of 3 tunnels and 2 galleries (688 m long). The galleries are not true tunnels entirely bored inside the mountain. They are semi-tunnels, carved out off the side of the mountain with openings overlooking the valley.
