Austria – and the whole world – are gripped by Eurovision fever!

Before Vienna transforms into the hotspot of the world's largest music competition from May 11th to 16th, the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) sent a strikingly designed advertising vehicle onto the tracks.

To mark the occasion, a Taurus locomotive was ceremonially christened in Vienna on February 18th. In its service with the Railjet, it carries the message of the ESC through Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland.
