Vienna becomes a stopover

"Although the Hapsburg Empire collapsed in 1918 it is only now that its former capital, Vienna, is relinquishing one of its last monumental legacies," Michael Frank comments with reference to the city's decision to give up its terminuses in favour of a central station. "The centre of the network has now - too - become a stopover. ... Vienna, once the undisputed capital of Central Europe, was at the same time beginning and end, starting and destination for all trade and change. The imperial city played host to the world and sent its emissaries all over the globe. Through traffic was unthinkable. Therefore all trains ended in Vienna or were sent from there to remote destinations such as Triest, Cracow, Bucharest, Lviv, Kaschau or Debrecen. ... The construction of Vienna's new central station - scheduled to begin operating in 2013 - is the tangible effect of the changes time brings transferred to the track. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has lost its final claim to being the starting point and destination of all travel within Central Europe, at least as far as transport is concerned."
