The Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway was Austria's first steam railway company. Its main financier was Salomon Mayer von Rothschild (1774-1855). The first track was built between Floridsdorf and Deutsch Wagram in 1837. Its main track linked Vienna with Kraków / Krakau. The Northern Railway Company was nationalized in 1907. It also owned many coalmines and other industry enterprises in the Ostrava region. After the nationalization of its railway network, it continued its coal and industry businesses. A well-known landmark was the k.k. Nordbahnhof (Vienna North railway station), that was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1962, along with the bridge across the Danube.
