- Venezia Santa Lucia - Wien Hbf (Railway Journeys)
A spectacular journey from Italy to Austria, starting in the glorious tourist hotspot of Venice, crossing the famous causeway, snaking through the Alps of Southern Austria and finishing in the grand Imperial capital of Vienna.
It all goes smoothly, until a landslide blocks the line and we have to switch to a replacement bus.
I saw my house in the video!! RailJet is a very interesting project. Until 3 or 4 years ago RJ didn't go through Italy but fortunately Friuli Venezia-Giulia (Italian region) made this possible.
That is one plot twist towards the end there
Nice video! Thank you for sharing your daytime train journey experience. By the way, did you purchase your train tickets online or at the train station. How much did it cost? Happy traveling.
The photo of the "train from the night before" was published 17 Aug 2020 yet your trip was published Jul 2021, did you wait a year to publish it?
Yes, this was filmed in August 2020
That locomotive parked at Villach (10:11) is designed after the Swedish Rc class of locomotives. Even thought it probably isn't a 1043, itt has the small round windows that are derived from that class.
They should build a barrier over the rail line between Friesach and Unzmarkt to protect it from landslides and avalanchse, given it is litteraly on the side of the mountain. Similararrangements exist in northwestern Sweden.
When i was 6, my parents and I went to venice. There was a steam engine parked on the terminus that ends at venice, i remember seeing it from the boat, it was sort of a bridge?
It was there on display I think. Is it still there? This was in the early 90s. Just curious.
A look at google maps says its gone ☹️ it was green that’s all i remember. Was obsessed with trains as a kid
There's a dam railway bridge build unter Austrian Empire in 1846, and doubled in 1970. It's 3,850 m long and connects Venice with the mainland.
Then there is a road bridge flanked alongside the railway one, open in 1933.
I'm disappointed that Italy abandons old alignments so readily. I mean, sure, build a new alignment to go faster, but why close the old line completely and abandon all those villages who used to have a train service?
The Koralm railway is in Austria, and there will still be regional trains on the old line
@@mazombieme4045 good to hear, but I meant the ferrovia Pontebbana, where large chunks of the old line have been converted to a cycle way. And the same on the Italian portion of the Brenner Line, and Genova-Ventimiglia, and... I would almost be scared for the rest of the Brenner Line after the new Base tunnel opens, I would see the Italians capable of wanting to close that, too.
These eatingsounds you make a while in the video is just disgusting. It is not everybody that likes that. You should now this.
