Austrian tunnel
Author: MEKoch

West of Vienna is a long tunnel, perhaps 7" long at high speed, so 10 miles long? The area is not mountainous. Is it cut and cover for high speed purposes? Tullerfeld is on the west end.
Thank you for your help.

Rode this segment this afternoon. Fascinating. Single track for about 40 km. We met no one except the eb counterpart at Bludenz. Speed: 50-75 kmh in mtns. Then 140-150 in the valley flats. Several long tunnels thru mtns. Fabulous scenery. Nice Lunch in Rail Jet Cafe. All in all I recommend the train.

Sounds like the Wienerwald Tunnel on the new high speed segment to St Polten
