The stations OpenStreetMap lists for this service, in order, with the distance along the line as drawn here. A train may skip some of them.

How this line was checked

• Line drawn from OpenStreetMap relation 7485248 — the same nodes OpenStreetMap holds for this railway, thinned to within under 25 m of them
• Checked against OpenStreetMap: the whole line lies on real track, a median 8 m from it
• Checked against the running timetable via ÖBB Scotty: our line passes within 57 m of every station ICL 27 calls at (the planner's own shape was too coarse to measure a line against)
• Wikipedia has an article for this line
• See for yourself: open this line on the map with OpenStreetMap's own railway drawn underneath it
