Innsbruck to Wien / Vienna by train

No two major Austrian cities are a further distance from each other than Innsbruck and Vienna/Wien, but the railway which links them has been enhanced over the passed decade.
A high-speed railway hasn't been constructed, but the improvement works has enabled the trains to complete the journey in the fastest ever time.
Train services operated by Westbahn, a private company, now compete with the trains provided by the national rail operator, OBB, on this route.
