The station field-Strasbourg is the border station of the Austrian Southern Railway and the Trieste railway in the town of Strass in Styria near the Slovenian border in the southern Styria . Next to the station building of the ÖBB there is also a representative of the Slovenske železnice , SŽ for short , who manage the station in their course books and in the handbooks for staff under the name Železniška postaja Špilje .
Location and importance
The station is located in Spielfeld , on the right bank of the Mur , about 2.2 km from the state border and 4.5 km from the Slovenian border station Šentilj . The eponymous town of Straß in Styria is about two kilometers north of the train station.
The station is located at km 257.9 of the southern line (from Vienna) or at km 615 Yugoslavian kilometers (from Belgrade ) at 263 meters above the Adriatic Sea . The station is also the starting point for the Radkersburger Bahn , which leads east over the Mur Bridge to Bad Radkersburg.
Between 1918 and the accession of Slovenia to the Schengen Agreement in December 2007, all international trains for staff change and passport control stopped in Spielfeld-Straß . Customs controls fell away in May 2004.

Infrastructure
In addition to the station building with a house platform (platform 1) and the former customs building, the station complex has two uncovered island platforms (2/3 and 4/5) with access via a level crossing that lead to a total of four passenger tracks. A fifth track serves as a freight train track.
At the train station there is a Park & Ride facility with parking spaces for 80 cars, 10 motorbikes and 50 bicycles.
In the station there is a ticket machine, a waiting room and a public toilet facility. The station is only partially handicapped accessible.
The railway line has been single-track between Leibnitz and Maribor since reparations were paid at the end of the Second World War .
Overhead line and traction current
In May 1972 the line between Graz Hbf and Spielfeld-Straß was electrified, in May 1977 the line across the state border to Maribor . The contact line system complies with Austrian standards. In the Spielfeld-Straß train station, the system separation points are located between the usual Austrian AC voltage network with 15 kV at 16.7 Hz and the Slovenian DC voltage network with 3 kV .
Sections of the overhead contact line system in the train station
The overhead line can be switched to the currently required voltage or frequency in the entire station area.
- Entry signal north
- North overhead line: normal circuit 15 kV, 16.7 Hz AC voltage
- Middle catenary: Protected section, insulated with a grounded intermediate section
- South overhead line: normal circuit 3 kV DC voltage
- Entry signal south
The bar-down signals in the station tracks cannot be turned away.
Change of locomotive without switching overhead line
The system switching of the overhead line is only rarely used. The locomotive change is carried out like at Italian border stations with the typical cross separation of the contact line. The locomotive of the arriving train irons before reaching the separation point in the station so that the overhead line can be left on normal switching. The arriving train rolls with the remaining kinetic energy to the stop in front of the exit signal. The new locomotive is on a locomotive waiting track, after the train has stopped and the route has been closed, it moves forward and is coupled to the previous one. After it has been uncoupled from the train, it pulls the new locomotive off it. The wagon train remains braked on the platform and passengers can get on and off. After the previous locomotive has been withdrawn, the switches are switched to a free track and the two locomotives are separated. The new locomotive repels the previous one . It rolls back into the appropriate power system, where the pantograph can be put back on. The route for the new locomotive to the waiting train is then made, it is coupled and after the brake test, the train can continue. This process takes a total of twelve minutes.
Freight trains with multi-system locomotives can be seen passing through this station without stopping. The locomotive pulls in the pantograph in front of the station. The train passes the separation points without a drive and only with its own momentum , before being ironed on again after the station in the other traction current system (usually with a different pantograph).
