A view of the "Schleppbahn", an industrial track branching
off between Graz Hauptbahnhof - Graz Ostbahnhof and going
southwards along the river Mur for a few kilometers. As you
can see, most of it is unused; the two tracks on the left
are still in service for a recycling company. The river is
right of the bicycle trail (Johann-Puch-Weg). Some politicians
have made the proposal to convert these tracks to a regional
passenger railway, but this has not much chance to become
reality as it is mostly an industrial area, too far away from
residential areas to be attractive.
