Here's the schedule for that train. http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/traininfo.exe/en/795198/265636/392280/68926/85?date=07.12.10&
Those times are correct. The odd part is that there are trains from Vienna to Zurich but not that one.
prophet,
It's not so odd at all since it is a SwissRail schedule and trains from Vienna to Switzerland are most likely not SBB. However, I think it fits for another reason. See my post here:

Posts by Dr. Rox suggest that the most recent leg is Chur, Switzerland. Irrespective of the accuracy of that, there are frequent flights (at least every 2 hours) from Vienna to Zurich that take about 1.5 hours. The Swissrail IC train from Zurich Flughafen to Zurich Hbf takes 12 minutes and runs at least twice every reasonable hour and the IC train from Zurich HBF to Chur runs about every hour and takes 1.5 hours. That gives a total trip time of advance for airport checkin (maybe 1.5 hours), 1.5 hours in flight, an average of 0.5 hours including schedule delay to Zurich Hbf and 1.5 hours plus schedule delays from Zurich Hbf to Chur. That totals a minimum of about 5 hours. By itself, that doesn't help us much until we know more about what the pit stop release time in Vienna was and what the tasks in Chur were.
I was looking at Dec. 6 for the date of travel from Vienna to Chur. What is the logical next step? It is to get back to Zurich Hbf to fly off to wherever. The way to do that is the exact reverse of the train travel above: IC train hourly from Chur to Zurich Hbf and approximately once every half hour IC train from Zurich Hbf to Zurich Flughafen. From Zurich, a major European air hub, teams could get anyway in Europe, Africa, South America or North America.
