| The Semmering railway (German: Semmeringbahn) in Austria, which starts at Gloggnitz and leads over the Semmering to Mxc3xbcrzzuschlag, was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. | WIKI |
| It is commonly referred to as the world's first true mountain railway, given the very difficult terrain and the considerable altitude difference that was mastered during its construction. | WIKI |
| It is still fully functional as a part of the Southern Railway which is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways. | WIKI |

| Across an overall track length of 41xc2xa0km the Semmering railway overcomes an altitude difference of 460 m; on 60% of its length the gradient is 2.0-2.5% (equivalent to a 1-meter difference in altitude on a 40 m route distance) and 16% exhibit a curvature radius of only 190 m. This was an entirely new technical dimension of railway construction, and new instruments and methods of surveying had to be developed to handle the resulting challenges. | WIKI |

| The Railway in numismatics[edit] | WIKI |
| The Semmering alpine railway has been the main motive for many collector coins and medals. | WIKI |
| One of the most famous and recent ones is the 150 Years Semmering Alpine Railway Coin. | WIKI |
| The Semmering Railway, constructed between 1848 and 1854 over 41 km of high mountains, is one of the greatest feats of civil engineering during the pioneering phase of railway building. | UNESCO |
| Set against a spectacular mountain landscape, the railway line remains in use today thanks to the quality of its tunnels, viaducts, and other works, and has led to the construction of many recreational buildings along its tracks. | UNESCO |
| The Semmering pass itself is well known for the 'summer architecture' of the villas and hotels, as it became one of the first purpose-built Alpine resorts in the decades following the opening of the railway line. | UNESCO |
| The railway line itself and the civil engineering works have been continuously in function since 1854, and the propertyxe2x80x99s functional integrity has therefore been maintained. | UNESCO |
| The property also derives its appearance from the villas and hotels constructed in its immediate vicinity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, showing the impact of the railway line on the surrounding landscape. | UNESCO |
| Given that the railway line has been in use continuously since its opening in 1854, specific items have worn out and been replaced, and methods for organising and operating railway lines have adapted to changing circumstances. | UNESCO |
| In addition, the property itself is managed by the Austrian Federal Railway Company, advised by an expert on railway preservation. | UNESCO |
