 Although a year-round service was provided for many years, it is now more common for the railway to close during the months of December, January, and February.Originally steam-operated, the railway now uses a mixture of steam and diesel motive power.The railway can be reached by bus, tram, or metro from central Vienna, followed by a short walk, but following the extension of tram line 1, there is now a direct interchange with the Vienna tram network at the railway's Rotunda Station.
