Together with Classic Car Auctions and the Wels fair, the transport was carried out using a car train. A total of 28 vintage cars and 5 nostalgic motorcycles traveled on the special train from Vienna to Wels. The historic vehicles will be auctioned there from 20 to 22 September 2019 as part of the “Classic Austria – Fair for Young and Vintage Cars”. The auction will take place on September 21st at 3pm.
The loading of the valuable cargo took place on 16 September 2019 at the car loading station of Vienna main station. At about 1 pm, the special train left the Vienna main station, and reached the transfer station in Wels at 5pm. Four railway carriages of RCG’s customer Hödlmayr were used. Their adjustable top loading areas enable unloading without a car loading ramp at the Wels facility.
