28 May 1999;
ICE "Prinz Eugen" from Vienna to Hamburg passing the Melk abbey on the Westbahn between Vienna and Linz.
This is the most famous sight on the whole western mainline from Vienna to Salzburg but in the near future tourists travelling by train won't see this place anymore. A new bypass line through a tunnel is under construction and only regional trains will remain using the existing route on this section.
