!!!Nordbahn

Railway, Northern ("Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn"), first Austrian steam 
railway line, financed by S. Rothschild; from 1837 first track between 
Floridsdorf and Deutsch-Wagram, 1838 extended to Vienna, in 1839 to 
Lundenburg (Břeclav) and Bruenn (Brno), and to Kraków in 
1846; nationalized in 1907. Vienna´s Nordbahnhof station was 
destroyed in World War II, since then express trains have departed 
from Vienna´s Suedbahnhof station; a new "Nordbahn" bridge and a 
new Nordbahnhof station were built for Vienna´s Schnellbahn 
suburban service in the Praterstern area in 1962.
