An Introduction...

First and foremost, I bid you hello!

I've been considering blogging for a few years now, but only recently have I finally gone through with it. I've recently moved to Vienna, Austria and am amazed at it's transportation system. For a city with roughly 2.5 million inhabitants, the city's transportation system can rival those of far bigger cities with millions of inhabitants! 5 U-Bahn (Subway/Metro) lines, 12 S-Bahn (Commuter rail) lines, 29 tram routes operating over 180 km of track, an extensive city bus system and to top it of, a large Regional train system connecting neighboring towns and cities.

So far I've been on every U-Bahn line, every rail line in the city and a good portion of the full S-Bahn system. I will look to complete the full system as the days go by!

Vienna's rail lines have a very interesting and complex history. Being the terminus of 5 major trunk lines and several secondary rail lines makes Vienna a railfan's paradise.

In this blog I will post content from and around Vienna's transportation system ranging from all types of transportation modes as well as short trips I take to explore this labyrinth of steel and concrete!
