!!!Aspangbahn

Aspang Railway Line (Vienna - Aspang Railway), formerly a private 
railway line, originally planned to reach Salonika (boundary stones 
with the inscription "W. S. B." = Wien-Saloniki-Bahn (Vienna - 
Salonika Railway) have survived), built as far as Aspang in 1881, not 
extended until 1910, when it reached eastern Styria via the Wechsel 
Tunnel. Nationalised in 1937 along with the Schneeberg railway (BBOe). 
The Aspang train station was located in the 11th district of Vienna, 
demolished in 1977.
