Railways : Transportation in Vienna

Historically, all traffic facilities were oriented towards the main capitals and residential cities of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy consequently, Vienna has several train stations that form the beginning of several train lines:
Vienna Franz Josefs Station is the starting point of the Franz Josefs Railway
Vienna West Station is starting point of the West Railway
Vienna South Station (Former South and East Station) for the South Railway and the East

Railway as well as several through train stations:

Vienna Hütteldorf on the West Railway
Vienna Heiligenstadt on the Franz Josefs Railway
Vienna North (Viennese lines: Praterstern) on the North Railway. The convenient North Station was destroyed in World War II and was not built again after the decay of the Danube monarchy, especially when the Iron Curtain closed almost all passenger traffic to the north. Since World War II a smaller station called “Vienna North” has served as a transit station between S-Bahns, the U1 U-Bahn line, trams, and buses. In 2004 it was essentially completely torn down and is being rebuilt. In 2008 the extended U2 will also stop here.
Vienna Meidling (Philadelphia bridge) - South Railway. This is Vienna most frequented transit station.
