URBAN TRACK Issued: August 13, 2008<br />
Quality checked and approved by project co-ordinator André Van Leuven<br />
The first Viennese transition curves and cant gradients were built by ÖBB near the stopping place<br />
Poehndorf of Western main line <strong>track</strong> 1 Frankenmarkt – Ederbauer of Austrian Railways with a Plasser &<br />
Theurer Stopfexpress of Bahnbau Wels in summer 2001.<br />
Situation in Poehndorf: Stopfexpress Frankenmarkt - Ederbauer<br />
Plasser & Theurer Win-ALC and begin of Viennese curve<br />
The two Viennese curves lead to a radius of 420 m and cant of 152 mm, one from the Viennese side, the<br />
other from the Salzburg side. They substitute conventional clothoid transition curves with constant cant<br />
gradients. The engine drivers confirm an excellent comfort negotiating the new transition curves.
