The Arlberg Railway ((ドイツ語:Arlbergbahn)), which connects the Austrian cities Innsbruck and Bludenz, is Austria's only ''east-west'' mountain railway. The 135.7 km line is considered one of Europe's most problematic mountain railways, in part because it is threatened by avalanches, mudslides, rockfalls and floods. It is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and frequented by international trains, including the Orient Express.
== History and Construction ==
As early as 1842 a railway over the Arlberg Pass was under discussion, as the British sought a rail connection for traffic from England to Egypt. Two years later, in 1847, Carl Ganahl - a textile industrialist from Feldkirch - decided to privately support construction of the railway, despite the many technical challenges involved. On the other hand, the opening of the Semmering Railway in 1854 showed that mountain railways were basically possible and feasible.
Construction of the Arlberg Railway started in 1880 and proceeded at a faster pace than planned. Completion was originally not expected until the autumn of 1885, but already by May 29, 1883 the valley route from Innsbruck to Landeck in Tyrol was put into service. On September 21, 1884 the entire stretch of mountain railway was completed, including the then single-track, long Arlbergtunnel, the construction of which claimed 92 lives.
