PART B_2

On July 27, 1848, the construction of the Semmering Railway had begun. The construction project was not an easy one as they have encountered several challenges along the way. They started the project with 5,000 workers, then they became 20,000 later on. The workers had to do the construction by hand as explosives and advanced tunnel-digging equipment had not yet existed during that time. It was indeed a dangerous job.
The construction of the railway put many lives at risk. The worst part was that it took so many lives. On October 27, 2018, Fourteen workers died due to falling rocks. While 750 workers were killed by diseases such as cholera and typhoid between 1850 to 1852.
In spite of all the difficulties, they were still able to make Ghega’s vision a reality. The first trials were run in October 1853. Finally, in July 1854 it made its journey with its first passengers. The total route is about 41, 825 meters. It is the highest railway that had ever been made. Its highest point is 898 meters.
The Semmering Railway has played a significant role in transportation ever since it was completed. It had also become a sightseeing destination to many locals and foreign tourists as they can travel from Austria to Italy while enjoying the breathtaking scenery. Three miles of the journey is through tunnels, while one mile is composed of viaducts. In the year 1998, the Semmering Railway was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
