Semmering - Austria 🇦🇹 - 10.24.22 A little bit of railway history for you guys today, a tidbit on the famous Semmering Railway Line 😄 Carl Ritter von Ghega or Karl von Ghega (January 10, 1802 - March 14, 1860) was an Austrian nobleman and designer of the Semmering railway from Gloggnitz to Mürzzuschlag. In his time, he was Austria's most outstanding railway engineer and architect. " Most of the architecture that he designed can still be seen today in the form of Stations and beautiful, high railway viaducts, e.g. Trieste Station, the viaduct in Borovnica in Slovenia (which was destroyed during WWII) and the viaducts and tunnels on the Semmering line, which you have already seen on my place 😉 At the top of the Semmering line in honor of Karl, a monument was erected which describes his biography and his architectural achievements. #trainspotting #lineside #photo #train #diesel #dmu #station #öbb #austria
