Still wild how the Wiener Lokalbahnen actually maintains what resembles proper train stations, still within Vienna. And they are only used for this one line. Wild.

I mean, it is a different track type so it's the only thing that can actually run here. But still!

@kescher It's actually not the only thing that can run there. In fact there is a freight train regularly going through Guntramsdorf on the BadnerBahn tracks (and then continuing to ÖBB tracks). You can also see an (now only rarely used) connection track at Gutheil Schoder-Gasse to the ÖBB tracks. Only thing that is really unusable for ÖBB trains is the electrification, as it is 750/850V instead of the 15kV normally in austria and maybe the "turn radius" of the tracks.
Btw funny thing: The BadnerBahn uses 3 different voltages. 600V in the Wiener Linien network, 750V between Schedifkaplatz and Inzersdorf and 850V on the remaining network to Baden.

@itsKiara @kescher wouldn’t an ES64U4 be okay with the 750 V? It can do 1500 and maybe reduced performance on even lower line voltage if you ask it nicely??

@uint8_t @kescher phew, I have no idea if that would work :D But if you ask nicely? Maybe :3

@itsKiara @uint8_t @kescher technically - sure. But I don’t know if the control allows you to drive on half voltage…

@JeDi @uint8_t @kescher @itsKiara for all I know you could drive a 3kV loco on 1.5kV but it will be slower etc

@jeder @uint8_t @kescher @itsKiara yes sure, for the electics it‘s no Problem (but obviously with less Power), but usually its a „Computer said no“-thing…

@JeDi @uint8_t @kescher @itsKiara I mean it's just a matter of getting rid of that check no

@uint8_t @kescher @JeDi @itsKiara like, in Poland we have lots of situations every day where the voltage is closer to 1.5kV rather than 3kV 🥴

@jeder @kescher @JeDi @itsKiara electrification should be 25 kV 50 Hz !!!!!

@uint8_t @kescher @JeDi @itsKiara pfff please we have barely started proper plans for our first 25kV 50Hz line
