The new virtual tour is now available online and, for the first time, offers a concise, digital overview of key areas of voestalpine’s Leoben-Donawitz site – including the rail rolling mill of voestalpine Railway Systems. In a modern interface, users can interactively explore various stations and gain a realistic impression of our production environment.

At InnoTrans 2026 in Berlin, voestalpine Railway Systems presents UniAC[2], a modern axle counting system consistently designed in line with the principles of modular, standardized, and interoperable signalling technology. The focus is on supporting a EULYNX-compliant system architecture, enabling long-term investment protection and seamless multi-vendor integration.

voestalpine Railway Systems will establish a special trackwork manufacturing facility in Thorold, Ontario, Canada, through its newly formed subsidiary voestalpine Railway Systems Nortrak Canada. The company has entered into a long-term agreement with Canadian National (CN) to supply special trackwork manufactured in Canada.

voestalpine Railway Systems JEZ, a subsidiary of voestalpine Railway Systems, a leading global provider of railway infrastructure solutions, is celebrating 100 years of innovation in the railway sector. With its investments, international presence and clear focus on sustainability, the plant in Llodio is strengthening its strategic role within the voestalpine Railway Systems Group.

Rail Baltica is one of the most important high-speed rail infrastructure projects in Europe and will create a high-performance north-south connection between Northern and Central Europe. voestalpine Railway Systems has received its largest single order to date, worth approximately 470 million euros, for the supply of high-tech turnouts and digital monitoring systems. This further strengthens voestalpine’s position as a leading global provider of system solutions for railway infrastructure.

InnoTrans is considered THE most important international trade fair for transportation technology and takes place every two years at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. For its 30th anniversary from September 22 to 25, voestalpine Railway Systems will once again be on site, showcasing its latest developments as the world’s leading provider of complete rail infrastructure systems.

What is the actual condition of my track? Where exactly is it located, and when does it require maintenance? In practice, this very transparency is usually lacking. Data is often fragmented and difficult to access, leading to inefficiency. zentrak, the digital platform from voestalpine Railway Systems, transforms traditional railway infrastructure into a smart, connected system. With the help of zentrak, every meter of track continuously provides data, detects damage early on, and helps to plan maintenance effectively. This, in turn, extends the service life of the infrastructure.

voestalpine Railway Systems is proud to be part of the European research project FP3-IAM4Rail as part of the Europe's Rail (EU Rail) initiative. The project is dedicated to developing a new generation of intelligent solutions for integrated asset management in the railway sector. The aim is to use modern technologies to monitor infrastructure and vehicles more efficiently, extend the service life of turnouts and, at the same time, increase safety and availability in the rail network.

In railway signaling, demands for safety, availability, and strong data collection are growing. Today, train detection systems must not only operate reliably, but also be flexible, low-maintenance, and resistant to environmental conditions. One solution that meets these requirements is the axle counting duo consisting of the AXM module and the UniAS wheel sensor. Together, they form the operational heart of the UniAC[2] axle counting system from voestalpine Railway Systems.

Axle counting systems have long been established as a reliable alternative to traditional track circuits. They avoid typical vulnerabilities such as ballast contamination, rust, weather-disruption, and component aging. With UniAC[2] from voestalpine Railway Systems, this proven principle is further refined: by combining it with a plug-and-play solution, a high-performance detection system is created that not only significantly cuts installation time and configuration risk but also enhances maintenance.
