The "Arlberg Express" was one of those trains whose introduction dates back to the era of transcontinental luxury trains. Unlike its siblings, the Orient and Ostend Express, it travelled through the whole of Austria in a west-east direction.
Over time, the train became more and more of an international train with through coaches. In addition to the Vienna - Paris train, the train ran numerous through coaches, for instance to the Salzkammergut region and from there to Salzburg, where these were then removed from the train. There were also through coaches from Vienna to Carinthia and East Tyrol, which were transported onwards from Schwarzach-St. Veit on the Tauern Pass Railway.
Depending on the composition, the available sets can be used to reproduce the train for the different Vienna - Salzburg - Schwarzach St. Veit - Innsbruck - Buchs lines.
