Railway stations and yards
Prague Masaryk Station
Prague Masaryk Station is located near Prague Main Station and the Florenc bus terminal, between the New Town and Karlín districts. The ongoing development of Karlín and neighbouring Žižkov has prompted discussions about the future use of underutilised areas within the station and the overall modernisation of the site, with the aim of creating a modern and attractive urban district.
Brno Main Station Junction
Brno, the historical centre of the Moravia region, is located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. The Brno railway junction originated as a small terminal serving routes from Břeclav and Vienna. As additional railway lines were connected over time, the infrastructure gradually expanded in response to growing operational requirements. Today, Brno is one of the most important railway junctions in the Czech Republic.
Lausanne Triage
Lausanne Triage, owned and operated by SBB Infrastruktur, is one of the most important terminals in Switzerland - 20% of inland wagon-load transport volume is sorted and classified here. The marshalling (classification) yard is located in the Lémanique region. After May 2006, the importance of this yard increased due to the concentration of train-formation processes in Swiss inland transport.
Ulm BetriebsCenter
The Stuttgart 21 project and the construction of the Stuttgart-Munich high-speed railway line have a major impact on rolling stock maintenance operations in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The new maintenance concept requires a significant expansion of maintenance capacity in the Ulm region. One proposed solution was the construction of a new maintenance centre on part of the existing marshalling yard that was no longer required for railway operations.
Industrial facilities
voestalpine Edelweiss
Facing the challenges of increasing demand for steel products, voestalpine steel producer decided to rise its production volumes and invest more than 5 mld. Euro to build a brand new steel production facility on the Black Sea cost (the project was codenamed Edelweiss). At the time of the study, the final location of the facility had not yet been determined. The proposed plant was expected to produce 5 million tonnes of steel per year.
BASF Ludwigshafen
BASF is the world's leading chemical company, headquartered in Ludwigshafen, Germany. TThe industrial sidings of the Ludwigshafen facility, comprising nearly 300 km of track, rank among the largest in Europe. The facility includes own marshalling yard with a double track hump, more than 20 classification sidings and enormous capacity of holding tracks. Each day, dozens of production halls have to be supplied with rail cars to deliver material and transport finished products. Some goods are also transported via the nearby KTL container terminal.
Other systems
Backbone Urban Transport Bratislava Petrzalka
The development of an efficient backbone public transport system has long been one of Bratislava's strategic goals. Bratislava Petržalka, with more than 115,000 inhabitants, is the largest district of the city. The proposed transport system was intended to provide a direct link between urban and regional public transport services, connecting Petržalka with other parts of Bratislava as well as surrounding towns and municipalities. The system was also planned to integrate with the TEN-T European corridor and potentially share parts of its infrastructure through the use of dual-system tram-trains.
Busto Arsizio / Gallarate
Hupac is one of the leading providers of intermodal rail transport through the Swiss Alps. The Busto Arsizio/Gallarate terminal is one of Europe's most advanced intermodal freight terminals, specialising in the transfer of freight between road and rail transport. Covering an area of 250,000 m², the facility has an operational capacity of 30 pairs of Shuttle Net trains per day, corresponding to approximately 1,500 road shipments daily.
Bratislava TEN-T
The planned integration of the TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) railway corridors represented the largest transport infrastructure project in the Slovak capital, Bratislava. The proposed railway line, crossing the Danube River through an underground tunnel, is intended to connect several city districts and accommodate international, regional, and urban rail services.
