1. VergnügungszugVergnügungszug ('Journey Train' or 'Pleasure Train') op. 281 is a polka composed by Johann Strauss II in 1864. The polka was composed for the Association of Industrial Societies' Ball held in the Redoutensaal on 19 January 1864 and inspired from the opening of the Austrian Southern Railway lines which operated many 'pleasure trains' offering many journeys to the countryside. Strauss himself was not the first composer to write a piece celebrating the technological innovation.
