I was impressed by the engineering skills that went into the construction of Semmering Bahn. The 41 km long railway line, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an architectural wonder from the mid-19th century. Construction was a challenge given the steep terrain, but ingenuity and creativity solved complex design problems. The seven aqueducts, 16 viaducts, and numerous bridges spanning deep gorges are an engineering marvel. The breathtaking views from the train were unforgettable.
