Until 1998, the St. Michael - Leoben wing of the Rudolfsbahn ran through the Annabergtunnel via the Leoben- Hinterberg train station and, after bypassing the Häuselberg, via Leoben- Göss to the Leoben main station . Since then, the 5,460 m long Galgenberg tunnel has replaced most of this stretch up to the Annaberg tunnel .
