2023-06-09T16:12:23.091Z

Highlights: DB Netz AG has been carrying out a track renewal on the Fuchstalbahn line between Kinsau and Schongau since last Wednesday. The work is necessary because of the old age of the facilities, according to Deutsche Bahn. Residents are unfortunately "exposed to certain inconveniences" during the construction work, as noise and dust nuisance cannot be ruled out, says the company. By Monday, June 19, a total of 6287 sleepers, 8500 tons of ballast and 7556 meters of rail are to be replaced in the track section.

There is currently a construction site on the railway line between Schongau and Kinsau. The old age of the plants makes them necessary. Work is also carried out at night.

Schongau – Numerous trucks in Hermann-Ranz-Straße in Schongau delivering ballast and unloading it near the Schongau train station, as well as so-called track reconstruction trains and noise even at night – the latter has raised questions among some Schongau residents. For example, a woman wanted to know what these sounds are on the "You come from Schongau, if" Facebook page.
