Pyhrnbahn track closed: new rail replacement traffic from November 4th

From November 4, 2024, passengers between Linz and Kirchdorf/Krems have to adjust to changes in the train operation. The two new electronic signal boxes in Traun and Nettingsdorf are put into operation, which will result in a temporary blocking of the Pyhrnbahn line. This important measure to modernize the infrastructure brings with it a replacement of rails.

The investment of 28.8 million euros aims to improve the digital control and monitoring of train traffic. The new signal boxes will make it possible to make the processes in rail operations more efficient and safer. In this context, it is crucial to close the affected sections of the route during the implementation of the new technologies.

rail replacement and effects

A rail replacement traffic is offered for the time of the blocking, which could affect many passengers directly. Those responsible hope that this change will run smoothly and that travelers will be well informed. More details on the timetables and replacement traffic will be provided in the coming days to ensure that the commuters do not remain in the dark.

The rail replacement traffic will in all likelihood cover important stops in order to enable an almost seamless transition for travelers. It is recommended to inform yourself in good time and to create alternative travel plans. Further information can be found here .

The commissioning of the new signal boxes is an important step to strengthen the regional transport infrastructure and to improve the train connections, which ultimately relieves the entire station. In this respect, the upcoming changes are not only a necessary, but also forward -looking decision.
