The new commemorative, 100 years of the Wechsel railway, is an attractive continuation of one of the most popular Austrian stamp series ("Railways"); the design of the motif, which shows a historical 199 series locomotive from the Imperial and Royal State Railways, was created by the established artist duo Peter Sinawehl (design) and Prof. Gerhart Schmirl (engraving).
The Wechsel railway, opened ceremonially on 12 October 1910, links the town of Aspang-Markt in Lower Austria and Friedberg in Styria; its name derives from the fact that its route includes the almost 2.5 km Wasserscheid tunnel through the Grosser Hartberg, taking the pwfq ixspokmsgu kho rhoxor Ethivcy sotghjrvx.
