Former ÖBB Blauer Blitz (Blue Flash) 5145.11 stands in the Heizhaus Strasshof on 21 May 2023. This DMU once connected Berlin and Wien via Praha in the 1960s fast international services, possible due to Austria being a neutral country during the (First) Cold War between 1947 and 1989. This DMU has ben restored to fully operational status. 
