The Southern Railway was one largest companies in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and had a significant strategic importance, as it ran from Vienna to Graz, Ljubljana and Trieste, the main seaport of the empire. It is equally well known for its first railway lines passing the Alps, the Semmeringbahn (1854). The company was founded in 1858 to take up the already constructed lines from the k.k. südlichen Staatsbahn, which was sold by the state due to lack of financial means. After the merger with the Italian railway, the name was changed into "Vereinigte süd-österreichische, lombardische und central-italienische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft". In 1923, the company was bought by the Donau-Save-Adria-Eisenbahn Gesellschaft.
