Partial Closure of the Franz-Josefs-Bahn: Rail Replacement Service Also Affects the Kamptalbahn

On the Kamptalbahn, individual trains will be running in the morning. Between Absdorf-Hippersdorf and Vienna, the train will run as usual. As part of the construction work, some Park&Ride facilities will be closed. The ÖBB is renewing overhead lines, tracks, and the substructure of the route. According to a release, the stations Großweikersdorf, Ziersdorf, Limberg-Maissau, Eggenburg, and Sigmundsherberg will be equipped with electronic interlockings by 2027 to control train traffic from the operations control center in the future. The Franz-Josefs-Bahn will be modernized in the coming years between Gmünd and Vienna according to a joint concept by ÖBB and the state of Lower Austria. On sections north of Absdorf-Hippersdorf and east of Irnfritz, the route will be expanded to two tracks. Furthermore, the maximum speed is expected to be increased in part from the early 2030s.
