The Jenbach railway station is a major station on the normalspurigen Lower Inn Valley Railway . It connects the market town of Jenbach in Tyrol to long-distance rail traffic and is the starting point for the Zillertal Railway with its Bosnian gauge (760 mm) and the meter-gauge Achensee Railway . Jenbach is thus the only train station in Austria where routes with three different gauges meet.
history
The station was put into operation in 1858 with the kk North Tyrolean State Railway from Kufstein or Wörgl to Innsbruck as a through station . With the opening of the Achenseebahn in 1889, Jenbach was expanded to become a connecting station. Construction work on the Zillertal Railway began in 1900. In July 1902, traffic to Mayrhofen began.
Jenbach was the target of several Allied bombings towards the end of the Second World War . On February 22, 1945, American bombers dropped bombs on the freight yard during "Operation Clarion". During the last bombing raid on Jenbach on April 20, 1945, bombs fell on the train station and the Zillertal train station.
In the years 1996 to 2001 the Jenbach train station was extensively renovated at a cost of ATS 355 million. First the reception building was renovated in 1996, from 1998 the track systems were renewed and the platforms rebuilt. A new transshipment facility with loading tracks, mat track and loading ramps was built in the freight station and the road connection improved.
Track systems
The standard gauge section of the station is 2,437 meters long, has three connecting tracks, five main tracks and seven side tracks. All points and signals are remote-controlled from Innsbruck .

In 1939 there were not only numerous connections to Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna , Budapest , Bucharest , Prague , Berlin , Munich , Merano , Rome , Ventimiglia , Genoa , Zurich , Paris and Rotterdam could also be reached directly.
