Gänserndorf–Marchegg railway line
Gänserndorf–Marchegg is an 18.2-kilometre, single-track, electrified railway in Austria. It runs from Gänserndorf to Marchegg, connecting the North railway line at Gänserndorf with the Marchegger Ostbahn at Marchegg near the Slovak border. The line has three stations: Gänserndorf, Oberweiden, and Marchegg.
It was opened on 20 August 1848 by the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway, and at the same time the Hungarian Central Railway completed a connecting line from Marchegg to Pressburg (now Bratislava).
In 2012 the route was declared a high-performance route, and electrification between Gänserndorf and Marchegg was planned. The line was closed from July to December 2020 for electrification and reopened on 13 December 2020 with electrified service. The Vienna S-Bahn line S1 runs hourly between Gänserndorf and Marchegg.
Technical notes: track gauge is 1,435 mm (standard gauge); electrification is 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC.
