Closure over for the time being
Barrier-free trains on the Kamptal line for the first time
ÖBB-Engel: "An early Christmas present for passengers" Landbauer: "Modernization of regional trains is a major goal"
The closure between Hadersdorf am Kamp and Sigmundsherberg is over. The modernization of the Gobelsburg stop, the laying of new tracks between Mold and Horn and the securing of railroad crossings made this necessary, the "Krone" reported.
A temporary platform was also created in Schönberg am Kamp to enable the first barrier-free trains to be used. The numerous measures are intended to make the Kamptalbahn fit for the future by 2029. Subsequently, battery trains will also be created there (from 2028).
Engel: "An early Christmas present"
ÖBB board member Judith Engel speaks of an "early Christmas present", as the conversion was completed on schedule despite the dramatic flood situation. "ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG's investment in the line is a commitment to making this regional railroad even more attractive," emphasized Engel.
Deputy Governor Udo Landbauer emphasized the importance: "The railroad from Horn to Hadersdorf am Kamp and on to Krems and St. Pölten is one of the most important axes in the Waldviertel." Landbauer sees the fact that the Kamptalbahn can now run barrier-free for the first time as "the next milestone in Lower Austria's rail offensive.
Further expansion plans
The line will be closed again for further work from September 2025. The barrier-free conversion of the Rosenburg and Kamegg stops, the laying of new tracks between Gars am Kamp and Rosenburg and the technical securing of further railroad crossings are then on the agenda.
