Arlberg tunnel at km 104.8, perspective view in the direction of Langen am Arlberg. In the course of extensive rehabilitation works the rail tunnel was equipped with a slab track to enable road vehicles entering the tunnel in case of an emergency. To get a larger clearance gauge the new tracks were lowered and the overhead lines were substituted by overhead conductor rails. At the southern track (left) the conductor rail is not yet installed.
