After mudslides
Karwendelbahn open again from Monday
After the heavy mudslides on the railroad line between Innsbruck and Scharnitz, the clean-up work will be completed on time. Trains will therefore be running again from Monday, September 2.
23,000 tons of debris had to be removed in order to complete the planned clean-up work. Over the past three weeks, during which the Karwendelbahn line was closed, around 1000 truckloads of debris were removed from the area.
Several mudslides paralyzed the line on the evening of August 12. Since then, around 30 employees of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) and other companies have been working to excavate the debris basins along the railroad line, repair damaged rockfall nets and clean the track bed. Around 1000 meters of track have been cleared of mud.
Track is reopened
Now the big clean-up has come to an end. On Monday, September 2, the line will be reopened in the morning and the rail replacement service between Innsbruck, Seefeld and Scharnitz will be terminated. "The first train on the line on Monday will be the S-Bahn from Scharnitz to Innsbruck at 06:33," says ÖBB.
