My train from Vienna to Venice leaves at around 6 am in the morning on the 7th of September. Will that train be affected by the derailment accident of the Swiss Gotthard Tunnel?

Then name of my train is RJ 131 and I think its route is only Vienna to Venice, if I did my research correctly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and I'd love some clarity on my doubts!

No. There is no reason that train would be effected.

It is an entirely different route hundreds of miles away from the Gotthard line.

This train doesn’t pass through Switzerland, but 250 à 300 km east from the Gotthard Tunnel. Your journey won’t be affected.
