Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway
The Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway was the first steam railway in the Austrian Empire, financed by Salomon Rothschild and opened in 1837 between Floridsdorf and Deutsch-Wagram near Vienna. It reached Brünn in 1839 and was extended to the coal fields of Moravia and Silesia and to Galicia, becoming one of the most profitable railways of the monarchy.
