This was the beginning of my next train trip, to Wien, or Vienna, in Austria. I had been to Austria three times already, but had never visited Vienna or any other major city, so this would be my first look at urban Austria. As is often the case on Eurocity Trains, our locomotive was a Class 371 electric.

This was after our arrival on the CityNightLine service in Praha Hlavni Nadrazi. Our sleeper was a first class one, operated by JLV, making it actually the only Czech sleeper on the train, as the rest were DB (and possibly SBB, I don't remember). The train was heavy enough to be double headed, although as usual it ran under 160Km/h (99 m.p.h.) on Ceske Drahy. The trailing unit was #371015-9. I noted that both units were named. #371004-3 was named "Otik," and #371015-9 had a common Czech woman's name, although I've forgotten it. Does anybody know it?

This was another more or less successful pan, which was probably too successful, without enough blur in the background. This Eurocity was carrying one of my friends visiting from Britain.
