Railjet services, operated by ÖBB in conjunction with DB. The Class 1116 'Taurus' locomotives can operate at 15kV and 25KV, but the 1216 variant is needed for operation into Italy, at 3000V dc. The more recent 'Vectron' Class 1293 can also operate these services.
My own journey was from München Ost through Austria and over the Brenner Pass to Bozen / Belzano in Sud-Tirol, under Italian administration. The return Railjet segment was from Bozen / Belzano to Innsbruck. All ticketing was from the DB website, with barcode tickets carried on the DB Navigator app.
