## Description
### Steam Store Description
Introduced to handle commuter traffic right up until the turn of the century,
and beyond, the ÖBB 4020 reigned supreme throughout Austria’s key passenger
routes – from the bustling cities to the rural mountain passes. Experience
life in the cab of this classic unit as the ÖBB 4020 is ready for Train
Simulator service!
By the 1970s, the ÖBB 4030 fleet was in its second decade of service, and with
only limited units available, was struggling to cope with the ever-increasing
demand that is the Austrian commuter network. A new electric multiple unit was
required to take the strain, a unit capable of providing a suitable level of
comfort – and faster journey times – for the many passengers that would be
travelling on them.
The new units were classified as the ÖBB 4020 and began construction in the
mid-1970s; Simmering-Graz-Pauker, BES, ELIN, Siemens and Brown, Boveri & Cie
were all responsible for the building of the new units. Austrian Federal
Railways began delivery of their 120 new ÖBB 4020 EMUs by 1978, and quickly
pressed them into service on 4 major lines throughout the country; the Vienna
S-Bahn, the Lower Inn Valley Railway, the Semmeringbahn and the
Mittenwaldbahn.
The ÖBB 4020 fleet represented the latest standard for Austria’s railways,
improving on previous units in many ways. A top speed of 120 km/h was a
welcome introduction, as were the stronger brakes which allowed for faster
journey times – even on the steeper routes. The spacious interior could
comfortably sit 184 passengers plus stand even more, and this was easily
doubled by coupling units together on peak-hour services.
Austrian Federal Railways took in their final ÖBB 4020 in 1987, by which point
some of the previous ÖBB 4030’s had already been withdrawn. The reliable build
of the 4020s secured their spot as prominent traction for the latter quarter
of the 20th Century, and even when the brand new ÖBB 4023 & 4024 EMUs arrived
on scene, the 4020s continued to operate on routes such as the Semmeringbahn,
and riding on them across the mountains is still possible to this day.
The ÖBB 4020 for Train Simulator includes the 3-car EMU in both ÖBB’s classic
blue & white, and the modern red & grey liveries with old and new logo options
available – each livery also features clean and weathered variations.
Whether you choose to run your ÖBB 4020 on the new Mittenwaldbahn: Garmisch-
Partenkirchen – Innsbruck route (available separately) or the Semmeringbahn –
Murzzuschlag – Gloggnitz route (available separately), you’re sure to have
many hours of enjoyment from this classic Electric Multiple Unit.
