ÖBB 1142 647-5 pulling the D 1981 (Bischofshofen - Graz) east of Leoben Hbf (at the Lutz furniture store) on 2012-04-05. One of the half-hearted replacement trains when politicians and ÖBB discovered they were suddenly lacking the money to continue the intercity trains once every two hours on this line. Now there's a mess of non-daily trains, second class only, no air-conditioning, no meal service, no electric plugs, no wheelchair-accessible car .... rendering the whole rather unattractive. These trains are pushed/pulled by class 1142 or 1144.
