Topic: Austrian North Railway


  
  Generaloberst Hermann Kusmanek von Burgneustätten
Austrians were seen cutting pieces out of slaughtered horses that lay in heaps, and showing an entire indifference to their capture.
The troops, instead of being all Hungarians, were of various Austrian nationalities; and there is good reason to think that the conditions of defense led to feuds, brawls and, in the end, open disobedience of orders.
Therefore, the Austrians wasted their resources on a fortress that was not critical to either army and that was in no imminent danger of falling-not until the second week of March did the Russians turn up the heat on Kusmanek.

 ARG fmsb1 fleimstalbahn
An alternative plan, with a railway running south-west down the valley of the River Cembra to connect with the line at Lavis, north of Trento, was rejected, even though it would have been near the junction with the Ferrovia Treno-Malé at Mezzocorona, the local population instead preferring a north-facing connection with the rest of Austria.
The plan to drive a railway up the mountainside from Ora in the Adige Valley, then over the watershed into the Fiemme Valley, and thence into the Cembra Valley and Predazzo was resurrected, and a construction base was built at the south end of Ora station.
The Austrian General Army Staff specified that the railway should be able to move a brigade of men and equipment from end-to-end within 24 hours, and this dictated the size of the locomotives which were bought.

 German and Austrian Signalling
The first Austrian steam railway was the Kaiser Ferdinand Nordbahn, opening in 1836 from Vienna towards Brünn in Slovakia, a small segment of the important route from the Adriatic port of Triest to the North Sea.
The very earliest steam railways, those of the 1830's, used hand signals with red and white flags or lanterns, and the whistle of the engine (introduced 1833), to communicate between moving trains and the ground.
In spite of this, when German railway engineers were looking for some kind of advanced signal, a disc was chosen, in order to be as much unlike a semaphore stop signal as could be.

 French Signals
The history of French railway signalling can be divided into three eras: (1) innovative variety, until 1885; (2) the unified signal code, 1885 until 1934; (3) after the Verlant reform, 1934 to present.
Railway signalling has two provinces, that of hand or mobile signals and that of fixed signals.
Carter, Signal Engineer for the Chicago and North Western Railway in the 1890's, observed that anxious enginemen peered into the gloom of night looking for the white signal lights that meant the way was clear, and were reassured as each was sighted.

Reproduced below is Alexander von Krobatin's account of the Austrian surrender, to the Russians, of the fortress of Przemysl on 22 March 1915.
Krobatin's summary is very much a human account of the Austrians' suffering during the Russian siege of the Przemysl; indeed he wonders how it was possible for the besieged men to have lasted for as long as they did.
The railway line was reconstructed, and on October 23rd the first trains began to move towards the fortress.
