Hello,
We are going to do the Salt Mine tour through Viator (I assume it's Panorama, but we booked through Viator). They say we will arrive back at Mirabellplatz at 1pm or a little before 1. We have the following options for a train from Salzburg to Vienna at 1:52 (Westbahn), 2:04 (OBB), 2:11 (OBB) or then 3:30 (OBB). The 1:52 is the least expensive option, but I am not sure we will make that. Husband and youngest daughter will be walking to the train station from the hotel with our luggage so can get there early (they are not doing tour). My oldest daughter and I are doing the tour and will only have our backpacks and walking from the drop off point at Mirabellplatz. I am booking early to get best deal. Would it be reasonable to get the 1:52 or even the 2:04? The 2:11 is double the price. Help!

IMO that is plenty of time. IIRC it is about a 15 minute walk.

It might be a tad more than 15 minutes, but not much. The streets are somewhat nondescript,
so use Maps. If you come in via Lastenstrasse, it may be a bit shorter and you don't have
the grungy "under the railroad bridge" walk.

I think the 153 pm time might be cutting it too close? Maybe 2:04 or 2:11 are better?

The walk from Mirabellplatz to the Lastenstrasse back-side entrance of the main train station is about .1 mile longer than the "grungy" one. (I walked there myself and I don't see any reason for this appellation.)
Either walk (about .6 miles) should not take longer than 20 minutes at the max. So catching the 1:52pm train should be no problem.
