History

The Wörgl train station was built in 1858 and opened on 24 November 1858 Emperor Franz Joseph I.. Therefore, a comprehensive program of events including a large railway Festival was held in August 2008 under the motto "150 years of railways in Wörgl " instead. With the opening of Giselabahn on August 6, 1875, the Wörgl train station Innsbruck eight years before the first railway hub in today's western Austria was.

Until the late 1990s the change from the law of trains found in Wörgl ( from Kufstein and Zell am See or Amstetten, where the track change took place in the other direction on the ÖBB- Western Railway ) on the Links Drive ( to Innsbruck or to the burner ) and vice versa instead. For this purpose, a so-called " flat- crossings " in the western turnout area very rarely used was built that allowed a change of route track at 120 km / hr.

Today there is on the entire Western Railway and throughout Western Austria general way working with the right main track as usually track. Innsbruck, since 1914 the route Wörgl - - Zell am See - Salzburg and since 1939 the route Wörgl - Kufstein - Wörgl Since 1890, the route is Munich expanded throughout twofold. Since 1928, all leading to Wörgl lines with 15 kV, 16.7 Hz AC electrified.

The station facility and the station building was almost completely destroyed in World War II. The station building was moved after the war about 500 m in the direction of Innsbruck (west), newly built and in 1950, opened in time before the town of Wörgl survey in 1951.

As a backup system was an electro-mechanical ÖES (Austrian Railway Signal Factory ) K 47 - track image command works for the dispatcher. The guards signal boxes were in the switchboard 1, a rotary axis Caretakers switchboard in the Switchboard and 2 an EM - 55 Caretakers switchboard. The interlocking systems, which are now referred to as a series of interlocking systems, have been preserved in museums in part. Both guards interlocking buildings that no longer exist today, were interlocking tower.

And expansion from 1993

In 1993, the station was Wörgl ( approximately 100 million euros ) almost completely rebuilt at a cost of about 1.4 billion shillings of the Austrian Federal Railways. The station was equipped with the then most modern central interlocking the type SpDrL A2 with EBO ( uniform user interface on five screens, using keyboard and mouse, and a "Graphic Automatic Light "), which was further expanded. The Graphic Automatic Light ( GrAuLi ) is a computerized self- actuating position in which on the basis of pre-programming or Zuglenkziffern which routes Routes will be made ​​automatically. The dispatcher is doing in normal operation only to a monitoring function. The signal box was built as the attic above the concourse. From here there through the panoramic window wall, a view of the grounds of the main train station part and on the Zugförderungsanlage. In addition, other platforms and freight terminals were built.

Between the station Wörgl North Terminal and the Kundl Wörgl train station and continue to the junction Wörgl Radfeld a third track was to improve the capacity built as a " fast lane " ( Wörgl Hbf - Wörgl Terminal South - Wörgl North Terminal is four tracks ). Due to the inclusion of the station Kundl in Wörgl train station in 1993, this is operationally treated not as a main track, but as a station track. Operationally, the Kundl station got the name " Wörgl Kundl ", although the place name " Kundl " continues to be used on train schedule and remains written on the platforms. From the junction Wörgl Radfeld the further route towards Innsbruck is four tracks ( to the west ) since December 2012, and runs with two tracks on the existing line of 1858 and with a further two tracks on the built 1999-2012 Unterinntal new line ( part of the new " burner flat track " that runs largely underground).

When large station renovation 1993, the concourse of Wörgl Hbf were and the ( ten in all) platforms with passenger elevators and train destination indicators provided and completely redesigned along with all other systems for passenger and freight service. A park-and- ride facility for 630 cars easier for passengers to switch from road to rail.

The station forecourt has also been completely remodeled and equipped with a green area. Front of the station, the regional and national bus and the five city bus lines and other shorter regional bus lines have their origin. The goods loading was moved from the formerly adjacent freight station in the cargo terminal (station part Wörgl North Terminal ) at Wörgl- Liesfeld (west), where in the meantime a great " business park Wörgl " has emerged with many companies and industrial plants, the more constantly and rapidly growing. In the cargo terminal and logistics center and a loading dock for the rolling road ( rolling road ) is set up. The North Terminal was expanded in 2012 also operationally significant; 2014 is provided more extensive connection and loading track equipment to build inter alia, in a nearby large woodworking company; these systems then form part of the station " Wörgl West Terminal "; also is also redesigned in 2014, the station hall of the main station and equipped with a new lighting and will subsequently an artistically designed new portal to the side of the city or to the forecourt to be built. The forecourt itself will undergo a transformation in the coming years with new buildings to the east and the west, where it is to be considerably enlarged and further enhanced by additional logistics, retail and catering establishments.

Designation as a central station

In the spring of 2006, the idea was born, to designate the station to the gondola as Wörgl Hauptbahnhof; on the one hand because of its size and importance, and the already large number of railway stations and stops in Wörgl and secondly for image reasons.

The realization of this idea to the timetable change on 10 December 2006 was preceded by addition further expansion and redevelopment. Thus, the concourse and the platforms were partially redesigned. Furthermore, a reactive control system was installed, created a new video surveillance system and also set up a permanent security service. Instead of the outdated fall leaf display a new LED Zugzielanzeigeanlage was installed. The complete signs of the station equipment was renewed and adapted to the new corporate design of the Federal Railways. International trains have since been announced not only in German but also in English language over the public address system.
