How this line was checked
- Line drawn from OpenStreetMap relation 7485248 — the same nodes OpenStreetMap holds for this railway, thinned to within 45 m of them
- Checked against OpenStreetMap: 99.6% of this line lies within 250 m of real track (median 15 m); the longest stretch away from it is 2 km
- Checked against the running timetable via ÖBB Scotty: our line passes within 409 m of every station ICL 27 calls at (the planner's own shape was too coarse to measure a line against)
- See for yourself: open this line on the map with OpenStreetMap's own railway drawn underneath it
