List of railway accidents in Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Timelkam railway accident in 1875 was caused by a broken tire . At that time it was not yet known that a component can only be subjected to less vibration than statically .

The list of railway accidents in Austria contains a chronological list of accidents on Austrian railways in which the loss of human life was to be deplored or considerable damage was caused. If not specifically mentioned, it was trains of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB).

Compared to road traffic, the railway is considered very safe, but accidents cannot be ruled out here either. The Indusi train control system was introduced in Austria in 1963 to avoid collisions. Investigation results of the Federal Security Investigation Agency (SUB) can be viewed - for events in 2008 and later - on the website of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT).

On January 21, 2013 , two fully occupied 4024 sets of the suburban line S45 collided on the single-track section of the Vienna S-Bahn between Hütteldorf and Penzing . 8 passengers and one of the two train drivers were seriously injured, 40 passengers and the other train driver were slightly injured. Due to a malfunction of the track vacancy detection system in the Hütteldorf train station, the license to drive the train to Penzing was given with the substitute instead of the exit signal . In such a case, the self-parking operation at Penzing station would have had to be switched off to prevent oncoming journeys . The continued active self-setting led to an automatic setting of a route for the train traveling in the opposite direction. The dismantling of the second track between Hütteldorf and Penzing, the outdated and unclear safety system in Penzing and the overload of the dispatcher’s duties had contributed to the collision. A new set of 4024 101 was formed from the two damaged units, and a series 4023 train was extended to 4024 129 with an excess intermediate car. The remaining three vehicle parts have since been stored at the Vienna Jedlersdorf plant.

Breitenstein, Lower Austria - Freight train rolling back collides with auxiliary locomotive
On December 1, 2015 there was a train separation of an uphill wooden train on the Semmering Railway in front of the Semmering train station , which was 205 tons heavier than permitted. A subsequent container train, also traveling in the direction of Semmering, was stopped at the previous self-block signal. A class 1144 locomotive, which was on its way from Mürzzuschlag to Gloggnitz , was let into the occupied track section from the Breitenstein station as a side journey to pull the container train back to Breitenstein. Although the locomotive had not yet reached the end of the train, the driver of the container train released the brake while half asleep, whereupon the train started moving and collided with the side drive in the polleros wall tunnel. 14 container wagons derailed, the locomotive and the track, overhead line and signal systems in the tunnel suffered severe damage. The property damage was around three million euros. The train driver on the side trip was seriously injured. The Semmering Railway had to be closed for around two weeks.

The last two cars and the cargo thrown down to the left of the track after the derailment at Gries am Brenner
Gries am Brenner , Tyrol - derailment of a freight train
On December 22, 2017, the last two double wagons of a freight train from TX Logistik traveling downhill on the Brenner Railway between Brenner and Steinach derailed at a speed of around 125 km / h. After upgrading with a test of the train control systems in the Brenner station , it was forgotten to open the brake valve between the train locomotives running in double traction . This meant that only the direct and electrical brakes of one of the two Vectron locomotives were effective on the downhill run . The line had to be closed for several days, there was considerable damage to property, and 4800 meters of track had to be relocated.
Kritzendorf, Lower Austria - Flanking two passenger trains
On December 22nd, 2017 , an S-Bahn ran on the Franz-Josefs-Bahn in Kritzendorf station in the flank of a passing Regional Express (REX) . Two double-decker cars of the REX overturned, a third leaned to one side. Twelve travelers were injured. Because the S-Bahn turned in Kritzendorf, the train did not run over a 500 Hz magnet, so there was no restrictive monitoring of the PZB effective, only the start program, which, however, monitors 45 instead of 25 km / h.

Several wagons were damaged or destroyed. The side wall of one of the long-distance train wagons was completely torn open. One traveler was killed and 28 people injured. The driver started against a signal indicating a stop and thus left the station without consent. A 500 Hz PZB magnet or a signal mimic was not available.
Salzburg, Salzburg - accident with shunting night train
On April 20, 2018 , in Salzburg's main train station, a shunting set when shunting through cars from Venice hit the stationary part of the Nightjet Zurich - Vienna train at significantly too high speed . Two travelers were seriously injured and 57 were slightly injured. The cause of the collision was a fainting attack by the driver of the pushed shunting set. Since then, an air brake button at the tip of the pushed part of the car has been used for shunting movements involving cars with passengers so that emergency braking can be initiated in the event of danger .

There was no active speed monitoring. On August 28, 2019, the accused railcar driver in St. Pölten was legally acquitted of the charge of grossly negligent bodily harm and negligent public endangerment. An appraisal had shown that the train driver had lost consciousness and control of the railcar for a short time due to lack of fluid and food.
Vienna - Collision of an unoccupied double-decker train with an occupied S-Bahn train

Randegg and Wieselburg , Lower Austria - A group of wagons escaped when moving in Randegg and collision with a waiting regional train in Wieselburg. On October 19, 2016, a shifter at Randegg train station (Scheibbs district) made several mistakes. He is said to have uncoupled the group of wagons when moving it, without having braked it beforehand - by opening a brake air valve and checking that the brake shoes were in contact - and without having presented a braking shoe. The group of 5 cars unrolled unrecognized and without a driver for 20 km. In the regional train in Wieselburg 4 people were seriously injured and 14 slightly injured. The legal proceedings against the postponer ended on August 31, 2020 with a diversion payment.
