The New Lower Inn Valley railway (German: Neue Unterinntalbahn) is a 40 kilometre-long double-track high-speed main line of the Austrian railways currently under construction. It will connect the Brenner railway at Innsbruck and the Innsbruck bypass with the line to Kufstein, connecting with Germany, Salzburg and eastern Austria. It will form a part the core of the network of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). The bypass is part of the Line 1 of Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T). After its completion in 2012, it will relieve the existing Lower Inn Valley railway between Wörgl and Baumkirchen with trains able to operate at up to 250 km/h.[1] It will be electrified at 15 kV, 16.7 Hz.

History

Section 1: Kundl-Baumkirchen

The KundlBaumkirchen section is currently under construction and scheduled for commissioning in 2012. The line will be 40 km-long line, of which approximately 32 km will be in tunnels.

From Kundl station out the existing line will be supplemented by a high-speed lines and will form a four-track line from an grade-separated junction at Radfeld. The new segment then descends between the tracks of the existing line and runs to the 11.5 kilometre-long Radfeld–Wiesing tunnel. After passing under the Inn it continues through the 4.5 kilometre-long Wiesing-Jenbach tunnel, passing under Jenbach railway station to the grade-separated junction at Stans. The line descends again, and continues through the 10.5 kilometre-long Stans-Terfens tunnel. In the tunnel there is a third track to allow overtaking movements, thus increasing line capacity. The route then goes through the 1.3 kilometre-long Terfens gallery and runs parallel to the existing line. It then runs into a tunnel under the Fritzens-Wattens station to join the old line at Baumkirchen where it separates towards Brenner/Verona via the Innsbruck bypass or towards Innsbruck/Arlberg via the existing line.[2]

Section 2: Brannenburg-Kundl

The approximately 25 kilometre-long section from Brannenburg-Kundl is currently in the planning phase with route selection between Schaftenau and Kundl has been completed. The continuation of the route into Germany is currently being negotiated.[3]

The selected route south from Schaftenau would leave the existing line via several short tunnels and cuttings to join the route of the A12 autobahn. It would then run through a nearly 10 kilometre-long tunnel under the mountains of the southern Angerbergs and under the Inn, the A12 and the built-up areas of Kundl before emerging between the tracks of the existing line and running to the grade-separated junction at Radfeld.[4]

Signalling

The new line will be fitted with ETCS Level 2 signalling system.[1] Four new electronic interlocking systems are being built to control both the new line and the existing line. These systems will be controlled from the new Innsbruck operations control centre (German: Betriebsfernsteuerzentrale), which is currently under construction.
