That’s why we alter the Olympic motto slightly, changing it to higher, further, heavier – then the sporting creed can apply to us here at DB Schenker Rail, too. We have gone higher, 1,370 metres above sea level to be exact, over the Brenner, the two reasons for which are illustrated by a large infographic in this issue of railways.

  • 1 the Railway and Its Competitors: Co-Ordination and Competition In
    The railway and its competitors: co-ordination and competition in passenger and freight transport in Austria and Switzerland during the first half of the 20th century Bernd Kreuzer (Department of Social and Economy History, University of Linz, Austria) Abstract: The Austrian Railways found themselves in a difficult situation after the fall of the Habsburg Empire in 1918. Not only did they have to distribute the wagons, engines and the staff among the successor states and to adapt the mutilized railway network to the needs of the then small Austrian Republic but they also suffered from a severe lack of coal and had to cope with growing competition from the motor bus and the lorry. The Federal Railways reacted, among others, by founding a new bus company, taking-over competing bus companies, ordering new rolling stock, reducing travel times by using light railways, offering reduced tickets for tourists and special freight tariffs, by acquiring capital shares in aviation companies and, last but not least, by lobbying for legal measures in favour of the Federal Railways. The electrification of the railway network, starting in the west of the country, was one of the most important issues. The Austrian Federal Government tried to help the Railways by legal measures which failed. There is a slow shift in governmental transport policy from rail to road during the late 1920s and 1930s. In Austria, the problem of competition and co- ordination between road and rail could only be solved in the late 1950s. The situation in Switzerland was very similar to that in Austria but the solutions found differed much.
