First Look Semmeringbahn : Wiener Neustadt - Mürzzuschlag : Train Sim World 4 [4K 60FPS]

The Semmering railway (German: Semmeringbahn) in Austria, which starts at Gloggnitz and leads over the Semmering to Mürzzuschlag, was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. It is commonly referred to as the world's first true mountain railway, given the very difficult terrain and the considerable altitude difference that was mastered during its construction. It is still fully functional as a part of the Southern Railway which is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways.

The Semmering railway was constructed between 1848 and 1854 by some 20,000 workers under the project's designer and director Carl von Ghega born in Venice as Carlo Ghega in an Albanian family. The construction features 14 tunnels (among them the 1,431 m summit tunnel), 16 viaducts (several two-storey) and over 100 stone arch bridges and 11 small iron bridges. The stations and the buildings for the supervisors were often built directly from the waste rock dug out when making the tunnels.

In 1998 the Semmering railway was added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

By contrast, the Semmeringbahn is but a section of the equally historical Südbahn, which runs with faster lines and less demanding infrastructure. After pivoting through the peaks to Gloggnitz, the line, which itself dates back to 1842, straightens out and makes haste for Wiener Neustadt, the busiest station in Lower Austria.

ES64 U and ES 64 U2 locomotives have become notable for the musical-sounding notes, said to resemble an alto saxophone, produced when a train is moving off. The sound comes from the traction converters.

On 2 September 2006 the locomotive 1216 025-5 (prior to delivery to ÖBB) set a new world record for conventional electric locomotives, when, during the trials near Nürnberg, it reached a top speed of 357 km/h (222 mph). The locomotive was not modified for the record. Since then, this type has become the fastest locomotive in the world.

From the spacious cab of the famed ÖBB 1116 “Taurus”, and the sleek ÖBB 4024, become one with the rugged peaks on the World Heritage Semmeringbahn. Constructed 170 years ago, the line between Mürzzuschlag and Gloggnitz was the first standard gauge mountain railway in Europe. Seamlessly blending nature and technology, the line traverses the pass through many hairpin turns, over a dozen tunnels and iconic bridges and viaducts.
