The star of this line is the Koralmtunnel. Each of the two rail tubes in the tunnel is about 32.8 kilometers long. That makes the Koralmtunnel the longest railway tunnel in Austria. Trains on the line can run up to 250 km\/h (150mph) \u2014 that\u2019s fast! <a href=\"https:\/\/orf.at\/stories\/3406165\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p><div class=\"de610b7b9de3e27210f105e73d9817c3\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<br>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- m4k blog body -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0373877822875511\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7178745461\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does a long tunnel make travel so much faster?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the Koralmtunnel, trains had to climb and twist around mountains and follow longer routes. That made journeys slow. By going through the mountain in a straight, low-level tunnel, trains can keep high speed. The result? Graz to Klagenfurt goes from nearly three hours to about 45 minutes. Faster trains also mean more trips per day and better connections to other cities. That makes it easier for families, students, and tourists to visit or move between places.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-1024x682.png\" alt=\"koralmtunnel\" class=\"wp-image-897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-270x180.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-570x380.png 570w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20-740x493.png 740w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-20.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do engineers keep people safe inside a 33 km tunnel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Big tunnels aren\u2019t just long; they need lots of safety systems. The Koralmtunnel has two single-track tubes. Every 500 meters, the two tubes connect with passages. These are escape routes if something goes wrong. The tunnel also has a special underground rescue area in the middle. Fire teams practiced big drills to prepare for emergencies. The builders spent a lot of money on safety \u2014 so trains and people can ride with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are tunnels like this built?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineers use giant machines called tunnel boring machines (TBMs). These machines act like huge mechanical worms that cut through rock. For some tunnels, engineers also use huge concrete pieces placed underwater \u2014 that method is called an \u201cimmersed tunnel.\u201d For the Koralmtunnel, big TBMs dug the long tubes through the mountain. Workers then put in lights, cables, tracks, and safety gear. TBMs are so big that their cutterheads can weigh many tons!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14.png\" alt=\"tunnel boring machines\" class=\"wp-image-891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14.png 800w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-370x247.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-270x180.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-570x380.png 570w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14-740x493.png 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other big European tunnel projects you might like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tunnels are popping up all over Europe.
