Not sure what the numbers are that you refer to, but the Tauern-Schleuse is a car train. You load the car on the train and in 10 min are on the other side.

It is a railway tunnel that is also used by special trains which can load cars and other vehicles.

Just to confirm some information that may not be clear - the tunnel is for train traffic only. You load your auto on rail cars specific to this purpose and ride in a coach to the destination. his does take some time to load and then travel the tunnel route.

the numbers #167 and #105 refer to the highway numbers for the roads between Mallnitz and Böckstein near to badgastein.

The roadway is known as the Gastein Alpenstrasse - a very scenic roadway but many curves ascents etc. making travel slow.

These routes are an alternative to the A-10 autobahn and the tauern tunnel that often has massive stalls due to huge amounts of traffic during weekends and Holidays.
