OBB Railjet Train Key Features

Railjet had its first test runs in 2008 with the only aim, to provide the best level of service and comfort, and save the time for its users. Nowadays, Railjet trains rank among the fastest trains on the planet which basically makes them the best ones in terms of speed. For example, the 750km-long route from Vienna to Zurich with stops in Innsbruck, Salzburg and Linz is covered in about 8 hours.  Just imagine the speed it travels at!

Compared to other railway carriers, Railjet Austria branch does not rely on fully electrical units, but on push-pull Siemens locomotives. Which simply means that in case of train failure or planned maintenance, any locomotive can be replaced fast and easily. In case demand for more seats on specific routes is higher than usual, additional carriages can be added to the existing train with no problems.

100% of OBB Austria Railjet Trains are powered by the electricity produced using renewable energy. You can make a change too!
