Train transporting a big Siemens transformer built in Weiz, consisting of:
ÖBB 1116 176-7 - locomotive
Felbermayr 50 56 0900 018-5 "955" - luggage van for tools and auxiliary materials
Felbermayr 33 54 9700 500-9 "939" - car for the accompanying crew
Felbermayr 83 81 9972 323-3 Uaai "1019" - 32-axle (8 four-axle bogies) heavyweight wagon, 235.8 tons empty weight, for loads up to 420 t, minimum radius 150 m.

The consist can move at speeds up to 65 km/h but is often going much slower. The heavyweight wagon can move the load horizontally and vertically with a hydraulic system, operated from two cabs, as it exceeds the normal loading gauge. In most stations it is only allowed to use specific tracks. Such oversized transports usually operate on sundays when there are not as many regular trains that they would slow down as they maneuver around signals and other obstacles near the track.
