Saying goodbye 👋 to the ÖBB @diningcar on my beloved #EuroCity Transalpin (Graz-Zurich) with 🌱 black lentils and mushroom dumplings. Despite the new Interregio concept in the Austrian Alps, the Transalpin will continue to operate in 2026. However, the ÖBB dining car will disappear with timetable change. Having both an 🇨🇭 SBB panoramic car and an 🇦🇹 ÖBB dining car on this scenic route was pure luxury. Instead, a (subsidised) SBB restaurant car will be part of the train. (1/2)

The #EuroCity Transalpin from Zurich to Graz is always worth a ride, regardless of the colour of the dining car. Crossing the Austrian Alps is beautiful, even if you're not sitting in the panoramic carriage. As far as I know, this will be the only remaining loco-hauled Swiss daytime EuroCity from 2026 onwards.
