Route
The S7 uses the right of way of the former Aspang and Pressburger railways as well as the Vienna Trunk Line, in the city center. The line begins at Laa an der Thaya, far in the north of Lower Austria, then comes to Vienna, stopping at
Wien Floridsdorf in Northern Vienna, cross the
Danube on the Northern Railway Bridge, and continue along the Trunk Line to Wien Rennweg keeping just east of Vienna's historical city center. After Rennweg, the route diverges off the Trunk Line and transitions to the former Aspang Railway right of way. After passing Kledering marshalling yard, the route briefly connects to the Danube Overland Railway, via
Flying junction. Past Wien Kaiserebersdorf, the route switches to the Pressburger railway, again via Flying Junction.
