ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG ensures the efficiency and safety of rail operations on the ÖBB route network. To guarantee this for the future as well, investments in railway facilities are being made on an ongoing basis. It is also the case at the ÖBB railway station in Stams and Silz, where the existing signal boxes are currently being replaced by electronic signal boxes (ESTW). In the course of this work, the signaling systems, cable routes, and other safety-related equipment are also being renewed. With the commissioning in November 2023, the Stams and Silz area will be remotely controlled by the ÖBB operations control center in Innsbruck.
Construction work for the reinvestment of the signal boxes in Stams and Silz has already started. The work, including the removal of the old signals, etc., will probably last until December 2023. In addition, the cable routes will be partially rebuilt or adapted for the new outdoor components. There will be no changes to the track position and maximum permitted speed. Separate technical buildings will be constructed for the new electronic interlockings, which will also house the telematics and energy departments. The costs for the replacement of the existing signal boxes amount to about 11.5 million euros.
