OeBB Infrastructure Linz
The ÖBB Infrastructure in Linz forms the backbone of rail transport in Upper Austria and is a decisive economic factor for the industrial city of Linz. As a central hub of the Western Line (Weststrecke), ÖBB manages and maintains essential parts of the Austrian railway network here. The infrastructure includes extensive marshalling yards, modern maintenance halls, and specialized logistics centers that ensure seamless freight transport for the resident heavy industry, such as voestalpine. Linz thus serves as a turntable for international rail freight transport between Western and Eastern Europe. The continuous modernization of track and signaling systems, as well as the expansion of digitalization in railway operations, are core tasks of this site. For thousands of employees, ÖBB Infrastructure in Linz provides highly qualified jobs in technical and administrative sectors. The close link between rail and industry makes Linz one of the most efficient logistics locations in Central Europe.
