The Pinzgauer Lokalbahn , also known as the Pinzgaubahn or Krimmler Bahn , is a narrow-gauge railway with a gauge of 760 millimeters ( Bosnian gauge ) in the Austrian state of Salzburg . The former ÖBB line , which has been owned by the State of Salzburg since July 1, 2008 , is operated by Salzburg AG under the name SLB Pinzgauer Lokalbahn . It runs almost 53 kilometers in length in the valley of the Salzach between Zell am See and Vorderkrimml through the high mountain region of the Salzburg Pinzgau .

The section between Mittersill and Wald was impassable from 2005 due to severe damage from floods and was rebuilt in two stages. The entire route was reopened on September 11, 2010, two years after it was taken over by the State of Salzburg.

history

Construction and early operation

As early as 1889 there were plans to build a railway line from Zell am See to Oberpinzgau . However, the preparatory work until the license was granted lasted until 1896. On May 19, 1896, Emperor Franz Joseph I signed the document for the construction and operation of a narrow-gauge local railway from Zell am See via Mittersill to Krimml.

The narrow-gauge railway was opened as the Pinzgauer Localbahn on January 3rd, 1898. In addition to the construction of an electrically operated small railway from the terminal (Unter-) Krimml to the Krimml waterfalls , the plan was to connect with the Zillertalbahn in Tyrol . However, both projects were not implemented.

Initially, two passenger trains ran daily, one of which was also responsible for freight traffic. This was primarily used to transport wood and transport agricultural goods. In Zell am See the freight was reloaded onto standard gauge wagons. In 1926 the trolley operation was introduced.

In the first Austrian republic , the line belonged to the area of ​​responsibility of the Innsbruck Federal Railway Directorate . After Austria was annexed in 1938, it operated briefly as the Innsbruck Railway Directorate before it was dissolved on July 15, 1938. The route was subordinated to the Reich Railway Directorate Linz . After 1945 the ÖBB was re-established, the management structure from the time before 1938 was re-established, including the Innsbruck Federal Railway Directorate.

Second republic

Since the advent of private and bus traffic in the post-war period, passenger traffic has increasingly suffered from severe passenger losses. However, improvements have made it more attractive again: In 1986, the first class 5090 railcars were delivered, which were designed on the model of the StLB VT 31–35 .

In 1987 the railway line between Mittersill and Krimml was badly damaged by floods. However, this did not lead to the discontinuation of the railway in this section, as was feared, but to an expensive reconstruction of the track system. In later years, some particularly narrow bends were also loosened, making the Pinzgaubahn the only narrow-gauge railway operated by the ÖBB on which scheduled speeds of 70 km / h could be achieved. Additional stops have also been set up and conductors-free operations have been introduced.

At the beginning of 1989 the so-called Stadtverkehr Zell am See was set up, which meant additional trips between Zell am See and the Bruckberg golf course. This resulted in a 30-minute cycle on this section on weekdays . From now on, the journey on this section of the route could be covered according to the schedule in just eight minutes, compared to twelve minutes by bus. The timetable could be designed in such a way that no additional vehicle was necessary. With measures like this, the line could be called the “parade narrow-gauge line” of the ÖBB. The route has been operated in train control since May 26, 1990, the train control dispatcher is based in Tischlerhäusl.

Nevertheless, the freight traffic was considered unprofitable by the ÖBB in 1998 and stopped, from 2000 the ÖBB made efforts to completely stop operations. This led to lengthy negotiations with the office of the Salzburg state government. After almost annually recurring announcements of a cessation of operations, a transport service contract was finally concluded with the State of Salzburg, which was supposed to guarantee the long-term existence of the Pinzgau Railway. The contract signed between the federal government, the state of Salzburg and the ÖBB provided for investments in the amount of 21.2 million euros for the railway. 80 percent of this amount was contributed by the Ministry of Transport and 20 percent by the State of Salzburg's transport department. The order for new vehicles in 2005 was seen as the first sign of the effectiveness of this contract. From the reorganization of the ÖBB on January 1, 2005, the Pinzgaubahn initially belonged to the Personenverkehr AG of the ÖBB.

Destruction by floods and takeover by the country

Opening train in Krimml, September 11, 2010

Between July 10th and 12th, 2005 (a locally stronger event than the great August flood ), the flood-carrying Salzach undermined the tracks of the railway line over large parts and meant that the Pinzgau Railway could temporarily only run on a short section to Piesendorf . On October 21, 2005, after restoring the substructure and the track, operations were resumed as far as Mittersill. From route kilometers 28.857 the railway remained impassable.

The reconstruction of the section to Krimml, which is particularly important for tourism in the Hohe Tauern National Park, was not guaranteed for a long time. In order to restore the protective dam of the Salzach, the damaged track system had to be completely removed in several sections.

In January 2007, the ÖBB and the State of Salzburg signed an agreement to rebuild the route, which was badly damaged in 2005, with an improved alignment, the railroad embankments had already been built when the flood protection measures were being built. The amounts required for this came from the Ministry of Transport, from the infrastructure contract of 2005, and from the State of Salzburg. On July 1, 2008, the ÖBB transferred the Pinzgau Railway to the State of Salzburg. Salzburg AG, which already operates the Salzburg – Lamprechtshausen and Bürmoos – Trimmelkam railway lines and, through its subsidiary Salzkammergutbahn GmbH, the Schafbergbahn , has been commissioned to manage the operations. The infrastructure and vehicles were acquired from Salzburg AG. As a first measure, the conductors were reintroduced on all trains .

On a private initiative, a building block campaign for the reconstruction was organized, the proceeds of 13,000 euros were not invested in the construction of the route, but in the procurement of a viewing car . The vehicle, converted from a freight wagon of the Mariazellerbahn , was delivered in July 2010.

The restoration of the Mittersill – Bramberg section was to take from the beginning of 2009 to December of the same year, according to the plans of the SLB Pinzgauer Lokalbahn. On July 22, 2009, the reconstruction of the track as far as Bramberg began, and on December 9, the section was officially approved and opened to traffic. With the timetable change on December 13, 2009, regular operations to Bramberg were resumed.

Push train in Bramberg (June 2010)

Construction continued to Krimml until August 2010. When full operation began on September 12, 2010, 13 train pairs ran every hour between Zell am See and Krimml. Until the restoration of the still impassable sections of the route, ÖBB-Postbus GmbH buses operated on the Mittersill – Krimml or Bramberg – Krimml route as replacement rail services . The Kreilsiedlung stop has been closed. The route was largely re-routed, with welded track laid on concrete sleepers for 24 km. Three crossing stations were provided with fallback switches. On September 11, 2010, the top section between Bramberg and Krimml was reopened with folk festivals at the train stations. The keynote speakers were Gunter Mackinger, Salzburg's regional railway director, Gabi Burgstaller ( SPÖ ) and her deputy and regional transport councilor Wilfried Haslauer ( ÖVP ). On September 12th, scheduled traffic was resumed to the Krimml train station in the municipality of Wald. There was now an hourly service to Krimml / Gde. Forest in Pinzgau.

After completion, the single-track line was equipped with a computer-aided train control system. Fixed signals are not used, the vehicles are located via GPS . A screen in the driver's cab shows the train drivers whether and how far they are allowed to drive. If they drive too far, the train is automatically stopped and the other drivers are warned. The historic Mh3 steam locomotive also has an on-board unit. The system was put into operation on April 1, 2012 after a seven-month test phase.

The restoration of the Krimml line along with the high-performance Westbahn Salzburg – Attnang-Puchheim line, the extension of the Bürmoos – Trimmelkam line to Ostermiething and the stalled expansion of the Tauern Railway in the Gastein Valley - were among the most important railway infrastructure projects in the Salzburg region in the 2000s.

The option of an extension of around two kilometers to the Krimml Waterfalls is also under discussion again. This project would cost roughly 6-10 million euros. The Krimml Mayor Erich Czerny (ÖVP) could imagine an extension, but would like a train station between the Krimml Waterfalls and the town of Krimml. Whether and when the extension will be built is still unclear, a feasibility study should be carried out by the State of Salzburg in winter 2010. The extension plans were reactivated in the 2018 government program of the Salzburg state government. Accordingly, there is also a declaration of intent in the coalition agreement between ÖVP, Greens and Neos dated May 28, 2018.

Another ban in 2014

After the severe flooding of July 31, 2014, rail traffic between Niedernsill and Krimml was blocked for a long time because the route had been completely undermined in several places. The operation between Niedernsill and Mittersill was resumed on September 15th, on the remainder after 88 days of suspension in October.

Locks due to natural events

It happens again and again that the route has to be closed due to natural events. Here mostly rain (underwashing) and mudslides are to be mentioned.

Accidents

The 2095 002 and 003 destroyed in the 2005 accident in the Tischlerhäusl depot (1998)

On July 2, 2005, the worst accident in the history of the Pinzgau Railway occurred. In a head-on collision between two trains consisting of locomotives and passenger coaches near Bramberg, a train driver and a passenger were killed and numerous people were injured, some seriously. Human error was found to be the cause of the accident .

Another serious accident occurred on May 4, 2009 when a truck collided with a railcar on a level crossing. 15 people were injured, one of them seriously. The badly damaged railcar was repaired by ÖBB-Technische Services St. Pölten and put back into operation in Pinzgau in June 2010.

On June 5, 2011, manipulation of a switch at around 9:00 a.m. led to the derailment of a railcar in front of Neukirchen am Großvenediger station, with no people injured. The property damage is estimated at 300,000 euros.

traffic

passenger traffic

Class 5090 railcars at Krimml terminus (2002)

In passenger traffic, there was a high number of tourist passengers from the start, to which the attraction of the Krimml Waterfalls contributed significantly. Even today, tourism is an essential pillar of the railway line alongside commuters and schoolchildren. In addition to visitors to the Hohe Tauern National Park , many cyclists use the option of traveling by train to use the Tauern Cycle Path .

From December 14, 2008, the Zell am See city traffic, already under the new operator, could be extended to Fürth-Kaprun with an alternating cycle. The Zellermoos stop, which was to be closed according to the original plans, remained in operation.

The minute of symmetry of the Pinzgau Railway was exactly the same as that usual in Central Europe until 2008, which meant that there were good connections in both directions in Zell am See. Since December 14, 2008, the symmetry time has been about two minutes later, which means that connections in Zell am See, for example to Saalfelden, have become scarcer. However, the timetables have since been adjusted again.

Passenger numbers

In 2008 230,000 passengers were carried. In 2009, the first full year under new management, 440,000 people used the Pinzgauer local railway. In 2010, according to Salzburg AG director Gunter Mackinger, it should be 600,000, while the Oberpinzgau region is expected to travel 620,000 kilometers by rail and 420,000 bus annually.
In September 2010, Gunter Mackinger announced the goal that in the fifth year under the management of the Salzburg Local Railway, i.e. in 2012, one million passengers should travel on the Pinzgauer Local Railway. However, with 887,619 travelers, this goal was not quite achieved.

Freight transport

Since a local industrial company expressed interest, the Salzburg local railway officially resumed operations on November 24, 2008, which the ÖBB had ceased in 1998. Wood processing companies are now also using rail transport again. The freight volume fluctuates between 1200 t and 7300 t per year.

Route expansion

In summer and autumn 2011 the Uttendorf Manlitzbrücke stop was built . A speed limit with three narrow arcs ( radius 95 m) was eliminated. The Uggl-Schwarzenbach stop - also in the municipality of Uttendorf - has also been put into operation. Another stop is under discussion for the neighboring town of Stuhlfelden . In 2012 the area from Piesendorf to Walchen im Pinzgau should be straightened. With the construction of a new crossing station , the planned traffic should be facilitated.

In February 2020 it was announced that the local railway line would be electrified by means of an overhead line, which also means modernizing the vehicle fleet. Since November 2019, several planning processes have been running that are investigating an extension to Oberkrimml or the Krimml Waterfalls, which are popular with tourists, and a branch line to Kaprun.

Railway stations and stops

Renovation of the Krimml train station with new track (June 2010)

The train station and station buildings of the Pinzgauer local railway were uniformly built in a standard construction method that was implemented on almost all local railways of the Danube monarchy from the late 19th century. Unoccupied stops mostly consisted of a simple, heaped up short platform and a stop board. With the renovation measures of the ÖBB in the 1980s, the stops were equipped with uniform wooden bus shelters in a rural style.

The station building in Mittersill was extensively renovated by the new operator in 2009. Since then, it has presented itself as a customer service center with an attached souvenir shop. The Mittersill train station is now the only one that is manned by customer service staff.

The Fürth-Kaprun train station and the Dorf Passthurn station were expanded to become junction stations, but the Mühlbach train station was dismantled as a single-track stop. The Stuhlfelden station building was demolished, but the Uttendorf station building was renovated and designed in a similar way to the one in Mittersill.

The Hollersbach Panoramabahn stop was rebuilt on the rebuilt route between Mittersill and Bramberg . It is used in the winter season by many skiers who travel to the ski area with the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn.

In the course of the reconstruction between Bramberg and Krimml, the station building was also demolished by Wald and the Krimml station renovated. Furthermore, a new train station was built in Neukirchen, where the route was laid. The old station building in Neukirchen will be preserved as a private residence.

Some bus stop houses have been renovated in the new ruby ​​red color scheme. All stops and train stations are equipped with traffic lights that passengers can use to signal that the train is about to stop. All of the stops that have been rebuilt so far have new, modern edge or central platforms.

VTs 12 in Salzburg AG design in Niedernsill (2010)

Initially, the line was operated with the locomotives of the "Z" series  , later with the more powerful  "U" series . In the 1920s, locomotives from the newly developed "Uh" series were added to the fleet and the Z series was retired. In the period 1906-1926 will also find the wrong Komarek railcars KkStB 1 / S.0 . From 1936 diesel locomotives were used for the first time with the series 2041s (from 1953 ÖBB 2091).

Diesel locomotives of the 2095 series have been running on this route since the mid-1960s  , which ultimately led to full dieselization of the operation. Until then, when there was a heavy load, the 399 series steam locomotives were occasionally used  on this route. Of the 2095, three are still in operation today (2019); they are used under the new designation Vs 71-73 for freight trains and cycle tourism trains, and a fourth locomotive (Vs 74) was acquired by NÖVOG in 2014 . From the mid-1980s onwards, new series 5090 diesel multiple units were continuously  stationed in Zell am See; these also form the backbone of the operation under the new operator, known as VTs 11-17. In addition, the last, earlier 2092 of the ÖBB is a shunting locomotive in Zell am See. This former army field railway locomotive , now referred to as Vs 51, moves the boiler house and trolley . It also received a vacuum brake system and will in future also be used in construction trains.

In April 2005, the ÖBB and the Zillertalbahn decided to procure new vehicles. The first diesel locomotive of the type D 75 BB-SE for the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn was delivered by Gmeinder in February 2007, but was not used by the ÖBB. The locomotive was put into operation by the SLB as Vs 81 and since it was taken over by the State of Salzburg, it has been in service with a modern push-pull train that was also newly acquired . After the takeover of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn on September 2, 2008, the SLB ordered a second locomotive, which was put into service at the end of 2009 and designated as the Vs 82. A third locomotive, Vs 83, arrived in May 2012. Two low-floor trailer cars VBs 201–202 and three low-floor control cars VSs 101–103 are available for the push-pull trains. Three circuits are required for the hourly cycle over the entire route.

The two electric multiple units of the 4090 series, which were used on the Mariazellerbahn from 1994 to 2013, have been owned by Salzburg AG since autumn 2015 . The three intermediate cars and the control car to be processed in our own workshop and then used in push-pull operation, so far only the intermediate cars VBs was 2017 211 operation passed in 2018 largely identical D was 13 of Zillertalbahn purchased and numbered Vs 84, she was already been in use on loan. The VS 4 control car and the BD4 42 trailer car were also acquired with it and are now used as the VSs 121 and VBDs 251.

Except for a few vehicles in nostalgic colors, all vehicles of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn have now been repainted in the ruby ​​red and white design of Salzburg AG.

Historic locomotives

The Vs 71 (ex ÖBB 2095.01) and the steam locomotive Mh.3, which has been restored to its original condition

The steam locomotive Mh 3 is available as Ds 03 together with historical rolling stock for steam trains. Furthermore, the 498.07 , now Ds 07, has moved to the Pinzgau and temporarily stored in Krimml. Both steam locomotives are owned by the Salzburg Local Railway. In 2014 the express locomotive 73-019 of the Club 760 from the Bosnian-Herzegovinian narrow-gauge network was transferred to the railway after a refurbishment in České Velenice to run as Ds 9 on the Pinzgau local railway. The costs of 300,000 euros are financed by the State of Salzburg. The machine, which can reach speeds of up to 70 km / h, remains the property of the Club 760 and will remain in the Pinzgau for the long term on the basis of a loan agreement.

Others

Three- rail track south of Zell am See train station

More than 1.6 kilometers of three- rail tracks run between the Zell am See train station and the Tischlerhäusl depot .

The workshop hall Tischlerhäusl was extended by the end of 2010 and supplemented by a flying roof . As a result, passenger coaches can now be parked safely and the locomotives and railcars can be serviced under improved working conditions.
