<p>Good Afternoon!</p> <p>Flo, coffee in an IV bag, please and I wouldn´t mind a slice of that Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte with it.</p> <p><img src="https://az809444.vo.msecnd.net/image/2839709/0x0/0/rezept-schwarzwlder-kirschtorte.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>Unfortunately, goodies like it are off the list for me these days! I had a bad night, with the pain keeping me from sleeping and no other pain med in the house than Ibuprofen, which is off the list as well.</p> <p>Today´s video feature in Ulrich´s Train Movie Theatre is</p> <p style="text-align:center;"><strong>The Hills Are Alive</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;">not with the sound of music, but the sound of steam echoing from the mountains of Tyrolia/Austria!</p> <p style="text-align:left;">The video takes us to Jenbach, a small a municipality in the district of Schwaz in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Jenbach is situated on the mainline between Innsbruck and Kufstein at the border to Germany. Jenbach is also home to two narrow gauge lines, the Achensee Railway and the Zillertal Railway.</p> <p style="text-align:left;">The <strong>Achensee Railway</strong> (German: <span lang="de"><em>Achenseebahn</em></span>) is a 6.78 kilometres (4.21 mi) long <span class="mw-redirect">metre gauge</span> railway running between Jenbach and Seespitz on <span class="mw-redirect">Lake Achensee</span> in <span class="mw-redirect">Tyrol</span> (Austria). Within its length it rises some 440 metres (1,444 ft) in height, with the steeper sections using the Riggenbach rack system. It is Europe's oldest cog railway which is still steam operated.</p> <p style="text-align:left;">The <strong>Zillertal Railway</strong> or <strong>Zillertalbahn</strong> is a <span class="nowrap">760 mm</span> (<span class="nowrap">2 ft <span class="frac">5<span class="visualhide"> </span><sup>15</sup>⁄<sub>16</sub></span> in</span>) gauge independent railway running along the valley of the river Ziller (Zillertal) from Jenbach to Mayrhofen within the <span class="mw-redirect">Tyrol</span> area of Austria and is nearly 32 km long. The Zillertal Railway is a modern rail carrier on narrow tracks, but also runs steam specials on a regular schedule.</p> <p style="text-align:left;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/von7NNZSVHI" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p style="text-align:left;"> </p> <p style="text-align:left;">Enjoy!</p> <p> </p>
