Lokalbahn Lambach–Vorchdorf-Eggenberg

The Lambach-Vorchdorf-Eggenberg railway is a standard gauge line that runs several kilometers through rural Upper Austria, passing through the Hausruck and Traun regions. The line serves multiple small stations along its route and uses electric traction for operations.

The line began operations in 1903 under state ownership and was later taken over by the Stern & Hafferl company in 1931. This transition brought significant technical changes to how the railway operated.

The railway connects rural communities and shapes daily life for people who live and work in these regions. It remains part of the local infrastructure that residents depend on for commuting and travel.

Trains run hourly during afternoons and every two hours at other times, with convenient connections to the Westbahn line at Lambach station. The stations are easy to reach and traveling by train offers a relaxed way to explore the countryside.

The Au station on this line stands out for its unusually short name, which is distinctive among Austrian railway stations. This two-letter station name makes it a curious detail that many travelers overlook.
