The Floridsdorfer Hochbahn (lit.'Floridsdorf high line'), also known as the Italian Loop, is a freight-only railway line in Austria. It runs 4.4 kilometres (2.7 mi) between Wien Jedlersdorf and Wien Leopoldau, connecting the Northwest railway line and North railway line.

The northwest end of Floridsdorfer Hochbahn is at Wien Jedlersdorf on the Northwest railway line. The line proceeds eastward over elevated tracks through Floridsdorf, eventually crossing over the North railway line approximately 440 metres (1,440 ft) east of Wien Siemensstraße. The line joins with the North railway line at Wien Leopoldau.[1]
