The Intercity trains from Graz to Salzburg and Innsbruck were in danger of being stopped (except for the trains operated with German push-pull consists) in June 2011; fortunately those plans did not become reality, instead they received a cab car, which makes the direction changes in Selzthal and Bischofshofen easier. Even though the cab car is not air-conditioned, this has the additional advantage that the trains can now transport more bicycles. Here you can see the IC 518 (Graz - Innsbruck) on 2011-06-14, near Leoben. The train consists of: Bmpz-l + Bmz + Bmpz + Bmz + ABmz + 1144.
