Wörgl Hauptbahnhof

The second is the electrified Western Railway, which runs from Vienna through Linz, Salzburg and Wörgl to Buchs, St. Gallen on the Swiss border.

Commuters to Innsbruck's main railway station comprise the second-highest volume of passengers in the state of Tyrol.

A comprehensive bus network based on the station makes the city of Wörgl is one of the most transit-connected municipalities in Austria.

As the largest train station in the immediate vicinity of the new line, and the only one with repair facilities for locomotives and rail cars, the Wörgl station played an important role in the construction of the four-track Lower Inn Valley Railway, the first stage of which opened in 2012.

The complex also includes a freight terminal with a logistics centre and a loading station for the Rolling highway, an electrical substation and extensive connecting tracks.

Wörgl Hauptbahnhof was built in 1858 and opened on 24 November 1858 by Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Beginning in 1928, all railway routes leading through Wörgl have been electrified with 15 kV, 16.7 Hz alternating current.

In 1993, Austrian Federal Railways spent 100 million Euros on an almost complete renovation of Wörgl Hauptbahnhof.

Later that year, in addition to the name change on timetables, a number of renovations were undertaken, including a partial redesign of the station hall and platform, and the installation of a new video surveillance system.

The north terminal was expanded considerably in 2012, while in 2014, the departure hall was renovated and the lighting mostly switched to LEDs.

Green space was constructed as part of a renovation of the station forecourt, where the regional, supraregional and city bus lines depart.
