quite as strict in Slovenia as in some other EU countries.

A typical Slovenian InterCity coach - or, well, maybe not so typical, as this one is not totally covered by graffiti as they
usually are. Many of these coaches are bought second hand from ÖBB in Austria. Due to their new RailJet trains Austrian ÖBB does not need as many
traditional express train coaches any more as they used to.

A VERY peculiar rail device, this rail inspection vehicle is based on a very old steam locomotive
tender wagon, which has been retrofitted with a gasoline engine to become a motor wagon for track inspection.

A closer look at the same wagon as above. The texts at the wheels read "k.k.St.B. TA 1893". This refers to
the Imperial Royal Austrian Railways and their class TA from 1893. The Imperial-Royal State Railways was the state railway organisation
in the Cisleithanian (Austrian) part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
