Earlier trains?[edit]

Looking for sources, I find this saying there was a prior D-Zug service named Mozart, and this talking about a pre-1987 Mozart express purely for US military personnel. I offer these for anyone with the specialised knowledge to untangle the situation and maybe use them. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:39, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had a simlar experience looking in Google Books. Searching for "Mozart Express" train gives mainly hits for an American train in the Vienna#Four-power_Vienna era. For example.^[1]

The D-Zug was already covered, but I found this on German Wikipedia describing an F-Zug that began in 1954 [1], which I've reflected in the article. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 09:28, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References for this article[edit]

I'm going to use this area to list some references for this article.

From the Austrian newspaper WirtschaftsBlatt I found the article Ja zum Bahnkorridor - Nein zum Eurocity Mozart and here's an english translation

More later. 64.40.54.180 (talk) 09:24, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A factoid from the New York Times says that the train stops at cities that Mozart once visited Mozart's Bicentennial: Too Much, Too Late. Cheers. 64.40.54.180 (talk) 10:03, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Traveling Europe's Trains ISBN 9781565548541 has a page on it, but google didn't show it. Probably have to stop by the library for this one. All the rest were books needing translation. 64.40.54.180 (talk) 10:17, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Traveling Europe's Trains appears to simply say you can take this train to "Vienna, Munich, or Graz". Some of us can read the foreign languages - do please put the foreign-language book hits here. Thanks for the search, all, you found a lot more than I did. --Yngvadottir (talk) 12:46, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was using a bunch of different search combinations. I'll see if I can make my way back to them again. In the mean time I'll list some others that give some factoids for use in the article. 64.40.54.241 (talk) 20:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eurocity pendelt künftig zwischen Mozart und Rubens and the english translation
Rubens trifft Mozart and the english translation
Lieber Hardrock als Altersvorsorge and the english translation
Die Reise des Transalpin geht zu Ende and the english translation

Cheers. 64.40.54.241 (talk) 20:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an interesting one at Kunst-Mozartkugeln in Wien and the english translation. It says there was a sculpture made of 1.6 meter balls at the Westbahnhof train station. And the name of the sculpture is "Roll on Mozart". A different article at Mozart-Kugeln rollen durch Europa and the english translation says the sculpture was exhibited all along the Mozart railway. DYK hook perhaps? 64.40.54.241 (talk) 21:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That one isn't quite directly connected to the train service - it mentions places not on the route, such as Koblenz. The refs are very good for demonstrating the notability of the train, though, good work. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:54, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I was thinking of something like did you know ...that the train Mozart helped inspire the name of a scuplture exhibited along the train's route through Europe? or something like that. Not great, but it is citeable. All the best. 64.40.54.241 (talk) 22:10, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
