Historical Background

The Railjet was introduced by ÖBB in December 2008, establishing a new generation of high-speed intercity services in Austria and across neighbouring European countries. Designed for speeds of up to 230 km/h, Railjets quickly became a familiar sight on major international routes, including services connecting Austria with Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

For the 175th anniversary of railways in Austria, ÖBB created a special Railjet covered in approximately 1,660 square metres of red, white and red film, forming a huge Austrian flag across the 206-metre-long train. This patriotic special livery was used on international services, and this Roco set recreates RJ 564 from Wien Westbahnhof to Lindau Hbf.
