Steam locomotive on the Semmering railway, Lower Austria, c1935. Creator: Unknown
Steam locomotive on the Semmering railway, Lower Austria, c1935. The Semmeringbahn was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. It was constructed between 1848 and 1854, and was a feat of engineering, given the very difficult terrain and the variations in altitude along the route. From " Osterreich - Land Und Volk", (Austria, Land and People). [R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller), Vienna, c1935]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a steam locomotive on the Semmering railway in Lower Austria, circa 1935. The Semmeringbahn holds historical significance as it was Europe's first mountain railway built with a standard gauge track. Constructed between 1848 and 1854, this engineering marvel conquered the challenging terrain and varying altitudes along its route. The image captures the essence of this remarkable feat of architecture and technology. The majestic arches of the viaduct bridge gracefully span across the landscape, blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountainous backdrop of the Eastern Alps. This snapshot from "Osterreich - Land Und Volk" by R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller) transports us back to a time when steam locomotives were at their prime. The unknown creator has perfectly framed this moment in history, highlighting both the beauty of nature and human ingenuity. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to conquer even the most formidable challenges posed by geography. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of our past achievements but also of our ongoing quest for progress and innovation in transportation systems worldwide. This image is an invitation to appreciate both artistry and technical prowess while contemplating how far we have come since those early days of rail travel through breathtaking landscapes like that found on Semmering Railway in Lower Austria.
