The settlers Seebahn as of 19 December 1897 linking Neusiedl am See single track to standard gauge over Pamhagen with the station Fertőszentmiklós the Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurter railway in the Hungarian railway Győr (Raab) - Sopron (Oedenburg). Until May 26, 1979, the railway continued 56 kilometers to Celldömölk . At the time of construction, the total distance of 109 kilometers was on Hungarian territory. On January 25, 1921, 45 kilometers with Burgenland came to Austria .

owner

The owner has been the Neusiedler Seebahn GmbH since June 29, 2010 , the majority of which is owned by Burgenland and the rest of the Republic of Austria. Its predecessor was the Neusiedler Seebahn AG (NSB AG) - in Hungarian Fertővidéki Helyiérdekű Vasút (Fhév) - which had the following owners since 1997:

• Republic of Austria    48.259 percent
• Republic of Hungary         26.306 percent
• Province of Burgenland         25.435 percent

The operation performs the Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurter railway AG (GySEV / Raaberbahn).

Corporate purpose

In the past, the route was used more for agricultural goods transport, but today it is mainly used for passenger transport. This line connects Northern Burgenland east of Lake Neusiedl ( Seewinkel ) to the national and international rail network, which is mainly used by commuters to Vienna .

modernization

electrification

The electrification began in 2003 and was completed in sections by mid-April 2004. During these years the line was electrified with the 25  kV 50  Hz traction current system common in Hungary , with the system separation point being on the open line between the Bad Neusiedl and Neusiedl / See stations. In addition to railcars of the ROeEE , ÖBB multi-system locomotives of the series 1116 with push-pull trains as well as multi-system-capable railcar sets of the ÖBB series 4124 and 4746 are used.

Track expansion

Route of the Neusiedler Seebahn

The last renewal of the superstructure and the installation of stronger rails made it possible to increase the maximum speed on the route from 80 km / h to 120 km / h and thus significantly reduce travel times.

Train crossings

Most of the train crossings in St. Andrä take place four minutes before the usual symmetry time.

Railway stations and security

Thanks to the renewal of the safety technology, more trains can now use the route. The stations and stops have been modernized to offer passengers more comfort. Since many road crossings on the railway line are not regulated by barriers , but only by light signals or traffic signs , fatal accidents with road vehicles occur again and again. The demand for more railway barriers has not yet been given in for financial reasons.
