This really was my train back to Prague, and unusually for a Eurocity, #1216 239-4 would take us all the way, with no locomotive change. The OBB 1216 Class are increasingly known by the easier-to-remember name of "Taurus," as they increasinly are popular export units. Even Amtrak have bought them in the form of the Cities Sprinter, which is a slight modification to meet their specifications (the 9 aspect PRR-style cab signals, the Amtrak pantograph, a bell, etc.).
