Future of the Salzburg local railway: New workshop building in Pabing
Significant changes are coming to the Salzburg local railway. The necessary new infrastructure for the modern trains is being driven forward by securing a property by the state of Salzburg. This is a crucial step because from 2028 the railway line will have to be completely closed for several months.
The local railway depot on Plainstrasse in the city of Salzburg is currently almost 100 years old. This old structure is to be replaced by a new workshop building. The search for a suitable location has now come to an end in northern Flachgau, specifically in the municipality of Pabing, where the state was now able to acquire a suitable property.
Important framework conditions
The planned closure of the route from 2028 means significant changes for passengers and operations. During this time, the infrastructure will be modernized, which can increase the efficiency and reliability of the Salzburg local railway in the long term. The new workshop building is a prerequisite for being able to service and maintain the new trains. These investments will prioritize infrastructure expansion to meet future needs.
The decision to replace the existing coach house is not only a matter of modernization, but also a step towards improving safety standards and service quality. A new workshop building can enable larger-scale maintenance work and reduce the need for downtime.
The state has already taken the first steps to implement this project in order to realize the plans for the new building in Pabing. Experts are now working on the details so that construction work can start as quickly as possible. This is a significant development that will impact both the operation of the local railway and the mobility of Salzburg's population. Further information on this topic can be found at www.sn.at.
