Graz Linien tram 605 with an added low floor middle section at Graz main station 8.7.2007. Photo by Ilkka Siissalo.

This is the same Graz Linien tram 605 as in the picture above. It's easy to note that the low floor middle section has been added later on. Photo at Graz Hauptbahnhof 8.7.2007 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Graz Linien has been renewing its set of trams gradually, replacing older models with low-floor trams of the types Cityrunner and Variobahn. This is the Cityrunner no.666. Photo at Graz Hauptbahnhof 8.7.2007 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Another Graz Linien Cityrunner, the no. 662 has received a rather ugly taping as an advertisement for ÖBB's faster train services to Wien. Photo at Graz Hauptbahnhof 8.7.2007 by Ilkka Siissalo.

Graz Linien in the old days. Motor wagon 243 and trailer 343 in the city center a long time ago.

In those days even these licence built Düwag trams were still young. Graz Linien tram 274.

The city of Innsbruck got 2007-08 a new generation of trams. This is one of them, the no. 305. It's a Flexity built by Bombardier (now a part of Alstom).

Innsbruck Verkehrsbetriebe IVB's Düwag with a later on added middle section at the end station Igls of Line 6. The Igls-Bergisel line 6 is called "Forest tram" as it winds along high hills and green forests. Once a narrow gauge steam locomotive hauled train line, it is now operated by IVB's normal trams. These Düwags are also history by now. Dark red, totally low floor trams is what you'd expect to see on the line now. Picture from Igls station 5.1.2003 by Ilkka Siissalo.

A third picture of the same line 6 tram at Igls, but now showing also the beautiful old station of Igls, from the time when this was still a steam locomotive driven narrow gauge railway.

Still the same Düwag tram no.53 but now seen from the other side. This is a typical 1960s articulated tram, one of the long varieties with two bending joints. If you compare it with the other IVB Düwag tram shown below, this one is older as it has only small windows on its doors, but on the other hand it has been already once modernised as we see two square headlight lamps instead of one old round one.

Year 2003 was still the era of old Düwags in Innsbruck. Here's Düwag no. 73 in a night time shot at Innsbruck city center in the evening of 4.1.2003. Notice that this one never got the added low-floor middle section as many other Düwags did.

Linz Linien AG trams run on the rare gauge of 900 mm. Their five lines serve not only the city of LInz, but also the neighbouring three communes Leonding, Pasching and Traun. This tram is a Bombardier Cityrunner / Flexity Outlook of their second generation, taken into use 2011-12. It is 40,80 metres long, has 71 seats and can take also 156 standing passengers.

Same tram as in the picture above, but seen from the other side.

Many of the modern trams of Linz are covered by ugly advertisement tapings, such as this poor Flexity Outlook no. 088 from the very last series of these nice Bombardier trams from the year 2015. It's such a shame that operators allow this kind of awful tapings, akin to graffiti.

Vienna (Wien) articulated tram 4050 in front of Westbahnhof 22 September 1995. These are history by now. They were Düwag designed German trams built by licence in Austria. Many of these trams were sold to Poland after the Austrians replaced them. Some of them can still in 2018 be seen in Krakow, Poland, with their originally dark red underparts now painted dark blue.

Still in the 1970s the Wiener S-Bahn trams could be up to six coaches long trains with a motorwagon at both ends. Here is a four coach composition, one motor wagon, two trailers and again a motorwagon.

Here is an example of a five coaches long tram-train during rush hour traffic on tram line 10.

Wiener Lokalbahn articulated tram 124 in front of depot on 21 September 1995. These were also Düwag trams and they were used on the so called U-Bahn line U6 that mostly runs on bridge-like elevated structures much like a metro. In the old days these used to be steam locomotive pulled trains. In German the word Hochbahn, high up railway is used. Note that Wiener Lokalbahn, WLB, is also a train operator and an important player ín the cargo train market not only in Austria, but in Germany as well. Photo by Erik Hjelme. Uploaded Nov 23, 1995

Wiener Lokalbahn also operates a so called U-Bahn network of metro like trains. Part of the lines are electrified from a third rail and 750V (lines U1-U5) and one line with an overhead catenary and 750V DC. This train is a class U2 (the number 2 should be written as a subscript here) train of the more metro-like line also named U2. Photo 1.1.2003 by Ilkka Siissalo.
