As domestic passenger carriages, ÖBB one type is of passenger coaches of the ÖBB referred that were built and in the years 1980-1989 rebuilt by the 1990s to about 2006 to the famous City shuttle car.

history

In 1980, the Schlieren wagons were followed by a new series (also known as "long Schlieren") with the UIC standard length of 26.40 meters. Otherwise they were built according to the same construction principles (low car height, smaller wheels, lightweight construction) as the Schlieren car. The wagons now received translating windows and pivoting sliding doors and were designed for a top speed of 160 km / h. They were therefore in the 1980s and 1990s, mainly in InterCity - Quick - and express trains used and were thus also in the neighboring countries of Germany and Switzerland. The types Bmpoz, ABmpoz, Ampoz, BDmpsz and BRmpz were built (the "o" in the name was omitted in 1981). In the first class there were 18 rows of seats opposite each other in the second class. The large seat divider was also useful for storing luggage between the backrests.

The first half baggage car 82-75 000-2 of the type BDmpsz left the Jenbacher works on April 19, 1982 and was assigned to the Vienna Westbahnhof . The cars had 40 seats, a driver's compartment and a luggage compartment with a capacity of 4.3 tons. In contrast to the Schlieren cars of the 82-35 series, the side aisle made it possible for these cars to pass through the car, so that the cars no longer had to be lined up at the end of the train.

On April 22, 1982 the first half- dining car 85-75 000-9 of the BRmpz class was delivered, which was also assigned to the Wien West train station. Of the 41 seats, 29 were in the dining room, which is separated from the passenger area by a glass revolving door. In the passenger area it was possible to turn the three rows of seats into additional buffet places by inserting small tables that can be attached to the existing window tables.

All Bmpz were subsequently converted into 2nd class cars (Bmpz-l) of the 21-73 series - the Ampz and ABmpz cars were converted to the 21-73.8, 21-73.9 and 39-73.1 series:

  • The 21-73.8 series emerged from the 40 declassed 1st class cars from the 29-75 series (formerly 19-75). The carriages only have three 4-seater seating groups in the middle of the car; the aisle seat is missing in the first two rows. Externally, the cars are easily recognizable due to the large window spacing and the number of windows (9 instead of the usual 10).
  • Ten former ABmpz cars were intended for conversion to Bmpz-l, with only cars 29-75 101 and 104 being converted to cars 21-73 901 and 902. The cars differ from those in the 21-73.0 series in that the seat layout has been changed (higher proportion of seats with windows).
  • The remaining eight ABmpz cars have been converted into the 39-73.1 series and have a 1st class area with red instead of blue seats and were originally used on the Salzach Sprinters between Salzburg and Wörgl.
  • The cars in the 21-73.9 and 39-73.1 series were equipped with a bicycle compartment with 24 parking spaces in 2012 and have been called Bmpvz-l with the numbers 84-73 000 to 009 ever since.

In the case of the Bmpz-l, the seating arrangement was partially changed to row seating and the row spacing was reduced regardless of the window spacing, so that there are now 22 rows of seats in a second class car; however, the capacity is still 80 seats because only one seat was arranged on each side in the entrance area. After the renovation, there is only one toilet, at the other end of the car there are ski and bicycle parking spaces.

Control car

Origin of the control car

The mid-1990s began in the TS -Werken Floridsdorf and St. Pölten the conversion in turning coaches , in which 152 intermediate cars to control cars have been converted (Bmpz-s):

  • 102 pieces from the 82-75 series (with luggage compartment)
  • 15 pieces of the series 85-75 (buffet trolleys)
  • 10 pieces of the series 88-75 (dining car)
  • 25 pieces of the series 20-75

It started with the prototype 82-75 000-0, which was completed in the Jenbacher works. This car is the first control car in the field of locomotive-hauled trains that was used by the ÖBB and at the same time the first future CityShuttle control car Bmpz-s 80-73. Today this car with the number 80-73 006-3 is on the road.

Paint and lettering

The first 11 new control cars did not yet have the current CityShuttle design (CRD 2000), which has found its way into all cars over the years, but a Jaffa- Sparlack with white instead of beige stripes and the “Pflatsch” logo. Because of this, they still had red instead of gray snow plows. After the entire fleet was modernized, the first 11 wagons also got the current CRD 2000 design: RAL 3020 (traffic red ) and NCS 2502 (light gray) dominate as the main colors . The entrance doors are in RAL 9016 (traffic white), the chassis and the roof in NCS 7075 (dark gray).

The first 43 control cars went into operation as series 80-75. The remainder were referred to as 80-73 from the start. In the course of time, however, the 80-75 series were also renamed to the 80-73 series, so that all control cars are given the same name.

Only the above-mentioned red snow clearers of the first 11 control cars still refer to their time as 80-75, although these are often not recognizable due to wear and tear and dirt. However, today only those control cars still have a red plow that still bear the Pflatsch logo, namely only 000 (as of February 2020). In the case of the cars that were given new paintwork with the wordmark over time, the snow plow was colored gray so that it does not differ from the snow plow on the other driving cars. These are 001, 002, 003, 007, 008 and since May 2019 also 010. The car 80-73 006 was allowed to keep its old paintwork to this day. With overhaul work at the St. Pölten plant in January 2020, however, his snow plow was colored gray. The control cars 004, 005 and 009 were sold to the Hungarian State Railways MÁV . With the introduction of the new ÖBB word mark in 2004, the company began to update the logo for domestic coaches as well. At first there were attempts to combine the ÖBB word mark with the Pflatsch , so that the old Pflatsch logo was retained. The new wordmark was attached to the control car at the front (top left) and the Pflatsch was retained on the side. The company number, smaller than before, was written on the front right. After a few years, the old logo was completely replaced and the vehicles were only given the new word mark. The new logo was now placed centrally on the front of the control car and the company number underneath. All control cars have a multi-purpose room of around 22 square meters for bicycles, prams and loads . In the control cars that are or were stationed in Linz, the entire passenger area has been marked as a quiet zone.

Conversion EM160WZ

The control car Bmpz-s 80-73 049-3 was converted in 2017 in the ÖBB-Werkstätte St. Pölten into the upper construction measuring car EM160WZ with the number 99-75 100-9 and additionally with a meeting room, measuring room, server room, kitchen, a social area with toilet, shower and two rest compartments. As a superstructure measuring car, it is used to inspect the entire signalized rail network of the ÖBB. The following measurement data is collected every 25 centimeters:

  • Gauge
  • Differences in height of the rails (cant, transverse height, ...)
  • Quality of the rail position (lengthwise height, direction, twist, ...)

The following measurement data is collected every 100 centimeters:

  • Location determination using DGPS
  • Measurement of the rail cross-sections (2000 measuring points per measurement)
  • Detection of the new profile and comparison with the measurement
  • Determination of the wear values ​​(height and side wear)
  • Calculation of the equivalent conicity

Special wagons

During the long service life of the car, the external and internal appearance of many cars has changed a few times. Some changes only affected a small number or even individual cars. Here are a few examples:

Car with advertising foils

REX with the "TRAM - time travel Vienna – Pressburg" set on the Stadlauer Ostbahnbrücke

Around the year 2010 the middle car 21-73 284 was covered with an advertisement for a fast connection from Vienna to the East Styrian Thermenland. On both sides in the middle of the car it had the words "Thermen-Express" on a green background. On both sides there was a logo of two thermal baths.

80-73 080 was pasted together with two intermediate cars with an advertisement for the art project “TRAM - Time Travel Vienna – Pressburg” at the beginning of 2018.

80-73 080 with advertising film in Marchegg as regional express to Vienna

On the gray half of some intermediate wagons, and also some control wagons, the words “Tirol Takt, sponsored by the state of Tyrol” were affixed.

Other differences

The control car 80-73 041 was not one of the first eleven control cars, but was still equipped with a red snow plow. On June 1, 2019, he was transferred to Vienna and retired.

A new CityShuttle logo had to be affixed to the middle car 21-73 832 because the old one was damaged. However, since none of these logos were available, a logo was used as a substitute, which was actually intended for double-deck cars and is much smaller. The car was also produced by the model railway manufacturer Roco under item number 64693.

In 2011, the Linz intermediate car 21-73 119 was converted into a seat test car. The standard seats were removed from one half of the car and a variety of other seat variants were installed in their place, which could be tested and evaluated by the passengers. The car also received a special sticker.

The 80-73 050 has both logos, but the word mark on its front is not raised to the left, but placed in the center, like the other control cars, which have the current logo in all places. Same with 80-73 113.

Whereabouts

With the timetable change in December 2017, a large number of new Cityjet local trains were put into service and at the same time numerous domestic coaches decommissioned. The wagons still in service have their home stations in Vienna Central Station , Vienna West Station , Graz Central Station , Linz Central Station , Villach Central Station , Salzburg Central Station , Innsbruck Central Station and Bludenz .

With the 2019/2020 timetable change, almost all routes in Carinthia were replaced by ÖBB 4746 , which were relocated from Vienna to Villach. In return, most of the Villach CityShuttle sets were brought to Vienna, which means that the use of the wagons has increased again on many routes in the greater Vienna area. For example on the Wechselbahn or Thermenbahn , on the Ostbahn or on the Franz-Josefs-Bahn .

commitment

Most domestic passenger coaches are currently still running around Linz , and they run numerous S-Bahn and regional express trains there. They can also be seen frequently on the Marchegger Ostbahn , on which they commute between Vienna and Bratislava every hour . Otherwise, only a few trains are made from CityShuttle vehicles during peak travel times, such as in Tyrol, Salzburg, Styria, Vienna and Lower Austria.

In the meantime, the wagons in IC trains have been completely replaced by the modular wagons . Due to a lack of wagons, however, "long Schlieren wagons" continued to be used on some IC lines until all Railjet sets were delivered.

Since the decommissioning of the 4010 series in 2008, Graz control cars Bmpz-s 80-73 have been running in intercity trains from Graz to Linz , Salzburg and Innsbruck , since the ÖBB has no long-distance control cars apart from the Railjets.

ÖBB 80-73 036 as the leading vehicle of the Intercity 601 from Linz to Graz in Bad Hall.

The D-Zugpaar 458/459 between Mürzzuschlag and Vienna also has a control car at one end of the train. With the 2019/2020 timetable change, the train number was changed to 858/859.

Since the IC 118/119 between Innsbruck and Münster was shortened to Lindau in the course of 2019 , an Innsbruck 80-73 train has been running here as planned.

Intermediate wagons have been in use in long-distance trains again as planned since January 2020. The Grazer intercity sets feature on weekdays when the trains IC 512, IC 513, IC 515, IC 518, IC 610, IC 611, IC 793 and IC 898 via an intermediate car. A control car and an intermediate car run here in long-distance traffic from Graz from Salzburg , Innsbruck and Klagenfurt via Villach .

Otherwise, the intermediate wagons can only be found in amplified or replacement sets from time to time in long-distance traffic, especially on the Graz - Salzburg / Innsbruck and Vienna - Villach routes.

The shortest train routes that are currently operated with CityShuttle cars are two regional trains from Selzthal to Liezen , which therefore only travel one station. The longest train run with a pure CityShuttle set is the REX 1500 from Salzburg Hbf to Innsbruck Hbf via Saalfelden, which covers a distance of around 250 kilometers.

In the course of the commissioning of the Desiro ML multiple units (referred to as Cityjet ), it was announced in 2016 that the CityShuttle wagons would be phased out until 2025.

Sale to other railways

In 2012 three control cars were sold to the Raaberbahn . In 2014 three intermediate cars and one control car (80-73 119) were sold to the Steiermarkbahn ( Landesbahn Gleisdorf – Weiz ). In 2015, 49 intermediate cars and 6 control cars were sold to MÁV-START .
