    Semmering Panorama II

    InterCity from Zagreb passing the village of Breitenstein. Here you can clearly see how the builder of the Semmering Railway, Carl Ritter von Ghega, planned it to display trains in front of the scenery. On a purely technological point of view a lot of the artificial structures and the route...
