Hutteldorf

Vienna

 This is the terminal of U4. It was also the terminal of the old Stadtbahn network. Here they have a neat automated train reversing process. The train arrives. The motorman leaves the cab and closes the train doors. He presses a button on the platform, the train departs to the tail tracks beyond the station. He then moves to the other track, presses another button, the train pulls into the station, stopping at the very entrance to the station and stops. The motorman then board the train, and pulls the train fully into the station. This saves the motorman walking thru the train to change ends. Pretty cool!
