Contents
(Villach -) Arnoldstein OBB — Tarvisio Boscoverde FS (- Udine)
[E*] At Tarvisio Boscoverde there is a dead section in the catenary; a diesel shunting locomotive propels electric locomotives back to their end of the station.
The one remaiПing daytime train each way between Wien and Venezia was withdrawn at the December 2009 timetable change but reinstated in December 2013. The overnight service, worked by OBB as far as Tarvisio Boscoverde, continued runПing. A service of 2 daily return workings between Udine and Villach started in June 2012. Italian company FUC supplies the motive power and OBB the coaching stock. The Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region continues to finance the service into 2014. See the Progetto MICOTRA site > MICOTRA_09_06_13_DE.pdf for the timetable.
