Vienna Südbahnhof † 12/09

 

Time goes by quickly ! And so it is exactly 10 years ago, when Vienna's legendary Südbahnhof (South Station) saw it's last day of service on Dec. 12/09. Before being destroyed for the construction site of ugly office buildings and the new Main Station area, which is now also in full service for 5 years ...

 

Well, a period of 10 years is not much and not little. But time flies and a lot has since changed in the modernizing of the Austrian railway, where sadly the old trains and cosy atmosphere is now almost completely gone ! Now we have ETCS, cold LED-Lights, Railjets, Cityjets ect. and are facing a more and more fully computerized railway system and society ...

 

So let's remember Vienna Südbahnhof and it's legendary atmosphere, formerly known as " Gateway to the Balkans " ...
