In June 1991, the Austrian State Railways (ÖBB) implemented the "new Austro-Takt 91" as part of a 
significant timetable change. This initiative was the first phase in the creation of a coordinated 
public transport network throughout Austria. It was the most significant timetable adjustment in ÖBB'
s history, leading to a noticeable increase in the number of trains and departures on many 
routes. 
The D 704/705 was an express train that ran from Vienna Westbahnhof and passed through Amstetten 
and Selzthal on its way to Bischofshofen. This service only ran on certain days, such as weekends 
and public holidays, and was introduced with the timetable "NAT 91". Unlike most trains, it took an 
alternative route through the Gesäuse and Enns Valley, bypassing Salzburg. Although this route was 
shorter in 
length, it did not offer a faster journey time due to the lower quality of the track and a higher 
number of stops. During "NAT 91", the train took five hours and eight minutes to complete its 
journey. 
In contrast, the direct InterCity (IC) trains that ran every two hours via Salzburg could 
make the trip to Bischofshofen in just four hours and eleven minutes. Instead of 
only functioning as a direct connection between Vienna and Bischofshofen, this train primarily 
operated as a service to various tourist destinations in the Enns Valley. It is worth noting that 
the train used a variety of different rolling stock and traction units, depending on what was 
available and was not lacking on the day in question.
