100 years ÖBB

The railway in Austria has always had an eventful history. On July 19, 1923, the National Council passed the Federal Railways Act, with which a separate economic body, the Austrian Federal Railways (BBÖ), was formed as a company for the first time. Due to the enormous lack of coal at that time, there was an electrification push. After the turmoil of World War II, the focus was on reconstruction. This was followed by the replacement of the steam locomotives and the introduction of the first interval timetable.
After the conversion to a company in 1992 due to the forthcoming accession to the EU, ÖBB was restructured in 2004 in the ÖBB Holding AG group with operational subsidiaries. The Railjet trains went into service with the 2008/2009 timetable change. They are among the fastest locomotive-hauled trains in the world.
100 years later, the Austrian Federal Railways are celebrating this historic event. To mark this occasion, a particularly attractive Railjet will be put on the rails. The motto of this train is: "100 years of ÖBB - 100 reasons to work for ÖBB".
