The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has completed the integration of the Netherlands into its own traction network. ÖBB Rail Cargo Group RCG acquired the Dutch railway company Captrain Netherlands at the end of May this year, thereby expanding its own traction network to 14 countries.
Now another milestone has been reached: RCG's Dutch carrier subsidiary has handled its first international train within RCG. This is an intermodal train that runs between Maasvlakte (Netherlands) and Linz (Austria) four times a week.
The Dutch carrier takes the train across the German border to Rheinhausen. From there, RCG's German carrier takes over to Passau. The rest of the journey to Linz is handled by a railway partner on behalf of RCG. (ben)
