The ÖBB 4020 205-3 on the Krausel Klause-Viadukt
(Südbahn - Semmeringbahn)
Many say it's the greates and most aesthetyc piece of engineering on the line, clearly representing Ghega's style. The reconstructed bridge received safe sidewalks. It's difficult to see on this image, but the viaduct has two levels: a lower level of arcs holds the entire second row of arcs. A few trees have been cut since I took this photo, like the tall pine to the left of Moór Feri, my fellow photographer, so the bridge shows its structure a little bit better.
The previous photos have been taken fromt he top of the portal of the Polleroswandtunnel.You can see a YouTube video of the passing of this train on the next page.
