Brenner Railway, Railway line in Tyrol and Trentino-South Tyrol, Italy
The Brenner Railway extends from Innsbruck through the Wipptal valley, over the Brenner Pass, and down the Eisacktal valley to Bolzano and Verona.
The construction started in 1853 with the Verona-Bolzano section, while the upper section from Bolzano to Innsbruck was completed in August 1867.
The railway represents a significant engineering achievement as the first complete railway route across the Alps in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Different electrical systems between Austria and Italy require locomotive changes at Brenner station, located at 1,371 meters above sea level.
The railway includes specialized spiral tunnels designed to manage steep mountain grades while maintaining safe rail operations through the Alpine terrain.
