Usage notes
ÖBB revived international night trains in 2016 when it took over routes abandoned by Deutsche Bahn, and its Nightjet brand spurred a European night-train comeback. Railjet trains connect Vienna with Munich, Zurich, Prague and Budapest. Austria's mountain railways, including the Semmering line, are UNESCO World Heritage sites.
