A multi-gauge network

Austria runs on more than one gauge — Standard (1435 mm) and Broad (1520 mm). That makes it strategically useful: traffic can change over inside the country instead of stopping at the border, which is exactly why gauge-transition countries end up hosting the busiest interchange terminals.
