There's the Railjet Express train as well (RJX) that goes from Vienna to Salzburg with only one stop in St. Polten, right on time before it continues its journey to Munich or Zurich train stations with regular stopovers. In addition, there is an amazing train route from Vienna to Budapest or Prague to Vienna, for those who love Europe's capital culture and diversity.
