As a result of the adjustment of the line conditions a site of 56 ha was gained for the development of real estate. In addition the new standard organization of the Austrian Federal Railways was settled in the project surroundings, starting with the station Meidling, and a motorail train facility as well as an external cleaning system were erected.

All in all approx. 100 km of new tracks and approx. 240 new turnouts were installed.
