Prototype History:
During the Post War period in Europe, all countries were suffering from a devastating economic situation. Rail transport was critical for the rebuilding of Europe, but the capability of building modern equipment was limited. Hence, tremendous energy went into the refurbishing and maintenance of pre-war equipment. As result, the period demonstrated an amazing array of equipment on the railroads from all different times. Essentially the railroad operators became adept and making just about anything run so a wide variety of outdated equipment was serving side-by-side with the latest and greatest innovations of the time.

Passenger service especially was where old equipment seemed to get an amazing new lease on life as passenger service was consider a second priority after freight and therefore received new railcars and locomotives only after freight requirements were satisfied.
Road Name History:
The Austrian Federal Railways (German: Österreichische Bundesbahnen or ÖBB, formerly the Bundesbahn Österreich or BBÖ) is the national railway system of Austria, and the administrator of Liechtenstein's railways. The ÖBB group is owned entirely by the Republic of Austria and is divided into several separate businesses that manage the infrastructure and operate passenger and freight services.

The Austrian Federal Railways has had two discrete periods of existence. It was first formed in 1923, using the Bundesbahn Österreich name, as a successor to the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways (kkStB), but was incorporated into the Deutsche Reichsbahn during the 1938-1945 Anschluss. It was reformed in 1947, using the slightly different Österreichische Bundesbahnen name, and remains in existence in this form.

Major changes currently being made to the Austrian railway network are the construction of the Wien Hauptbahnhof (Vienna main station), the Koralm Railway, the Semmering Base Tunnel and the Brenner Base Tunnel connection with Italy.
