Actual practice of the train is that the HLE27/18 is separated from the sleeper couches at Aachen Hbf tracks 6-9 where an ÖBB1116 takes the train to Wien Hbf via Schnellfahrstrecke Köln-Aachen Koblenz Flughafen Frankfurt Am Main Aschaffenburg Würzburg Main Spessart Bahn route.
the world was way better before than today if i had the ability to going back to the past for just taking a look of those international trains who today all of them has vanished, EN donauwalzer, jan kiepura, city night line 241,243, auto train freecia del sole, del torino, azur express, camino azul etc. eurocity vauban, iris jean monnet etc i saw all of them when i was a kid, 8 year old in 96 , i really liked to see those international trains because their look is completely different to the train that i'm taking everyday for going to school
This runs now as train 424/425 Brussels Midi to Wien Hbf via Aachen & Köln Hbf. At Aachen the SNCB locomotive 27 or 18 is swapped for an ÖBB1116 or ÖBB1016 to Wien Hbf
The first one is an ex-1245 and the second one an ex-1046 with its old main body. I'm not 100% shure about the first one, but I'm convinced they are both only pre-heating devices. It's common practice till this day (altough not that frequently seen anymore) that engines will be adopted/used after retiring from regular service to be - in most cases moveable, sometimes even self-propelled - pre-heating devices.
Molto bello il video.

"Extra" !!! Merci
back to the future, the obb recreated a brussel wien night train :)
of course but the obb service is meaningless compared to night international network of 1990/2000 from Belgium

Unfortunately, this train does not run anymore. :( But it is a great video! :D

What type of engines do we see at 8:30?
The first one is an ex-1245 and the second one an ex-1046 with its old main body. I'm not 100% shure about the first one, but I'm convinced they are both only pre-heating devices.
