Phyrnbahn freight
On my visit last summer freight traffic was rather sparse on the Phyrnbahn. It was the Friday after an unknown to me Thursday holiday which likely did not help things. The ÖBB freight I did manage was the morning DG 54791 (Linz Vbf - Graz Vbf). I did not have any info on the freight traffic so between passenger trains I camped out just south of the northbound photo curve in Windischgarsten so I could easily reposition (as easily as one can by bike) for either direction. As luck would have it I was able to shoot two southbounds, first a DB Cargo train and then this much more interesting 1142 powered move.
