Happy World Public Transport Day 🚆
A global reminder of how public transport connects people, places, and regions.
Hundred Valleys 🚆
The Centovalli Railway runs 52 km between Locarno and Domodossola, crossing 83 bridges and 34 tunnels along the way. Opened in 1923, it’s one of the most scenic — yet a bit underrated — routes in the Alps.
We rode it in 2022 and it was fantastic. Still a bit of a hidden gem compared to bigger names, but absolutely worth it.
Chicago → Pacific Northwest. The Empire Builder spans 3,500 km in ~46 hours, crossing the Mississippi, Great Plains & Glacier National Park 🚆
With sleepers, dining car & panoramic lounge, it’s built for slow travel.
At viaduct, more timetable data is coming soon also outside Europe, along with improved US routing.
Private rail in Europe has been expanding recently 🚄
New routes:
Paris–Berlin (European Sleeper)
Amsterdam–Hamburg/Berlin (GoVolta)
Vienna–Villach (WESTbahn)
Warsaw–Kraków (LEO Express)
Which ones have you already tried?
Spend the weekend adding a ton of old trips to @viaduct_world
Been on a lot, a lot still to go!

Fjord to mountain ❄️
A short ride from Narvik up to Bjørnfjell.
The Ofotbanen was built for moving ore, and that’s still a big part of what runs here 🚆
Mostly a steady climb, with views opening up along the way.
irregular reminder for train nerds that viaduct.world exists and is actually really good for logging train trips
they're also on fedi 👋
@viaduct_worldRomania is a special destination for rail travel. Some journeys feel like a step back in time, especially aboard CFR Class 77 railcars – vehicles over 90 years old still running regional services. Add scenic routes like the Olt Valley and the experience becomes unforgettable. 🌄
Already wondering why we haven’t posted any app updates lately?
There’s a reason: we’re currently busy working on a larger viaduct update with many new features. 🚆 The update is planned for spring 2026. Expect new ways to explore, connect and log your journeys.
More details soon — stay tuned 🙂
Southern Shortcut ☀️🚄
First spring sun = head south.
Yesterday we travelled from Vienna on our first ride on the new Koralmbahn — a real gamechanger for southern Austria. Carinthian lakes (and even Italy) just got closer.
Bonus: tried the brand new WESTbahn trains starting service today.
