>Also, it astonishing that there are no automatic systems in place that prevent two trains in one section of track. Like, WTF, why is this even a thing anymore?
it's better not to know how outdated some branch lines can be. in this case the short German part of the line is still outdated, while Austria modernized their part.
>Der Streckenabschnitt zwischen den Bahnhöfen Ehrwald Zugspitzbahn und Griesen (Oberbay) ist nicht mit einem Streckenblock ausgerüstet. Der Bahnhof Griesen (Oberbay) ist mit einem mechanischen Stellwerk der Bauart Krauss von 1913 mit nachgerüsteter Technik von Scheidt & Bachmann (vereinfachte Nebenbahntechnik) ausgestattet.
it should be modernized this year, so last chance to see it in action.>>1975638
Guess that fits with what fefe linked a few days ago

>Partiell gab es über die Jahrzehnte hinweg immer wieder Neuerungen, die aber nie flächendeckend eingeführt wurden. Entsprechend haben wir heute eine technische Vielfalt, die kaum noch beherrschbar ist. Ich selbst habe die Berechtigung, auf drei dieser Stellwerksgenerationen zu arbeiten – aber auch das ist schon grenzwertig. Inzwischen gibt es fünf Generationen.
Guess that's the 2nd generation then?>>1975630
>gender traffic
>gender
Geschlecht literally means SEX.
The Anglo hates SEX - probably because he perceives it as "dirty" -, so he has been going with the completely unrelated term of "GENDER" for a while now, and the result is the completely fucked up Western World of 2024.
Fuck the English speaking world in the most asexual way possible.>>1972093

you need rails equipped with ERMTS/ETCS, reliable trains and reliable wired and wireless connection which Germany doesn't have.
it's easy to call for bullshit projects like the Transrapid or the monorail proposition in Berlin (muh trams block car traffic) or automated trains by politicians instead of doing the boring stuff like enough money maintenance by politicians.>>1976030
>ERMTS/ETCS
LZB already had AFB. That's not autonomous technology, but it's a baseline from which mere software upgrades could make it that. It's just that you got that almost nowhere, either, so ETCS is certainly the way to go.
>reliable trains
There needs to be some human staff on the train, but that doesn't need to be a driver.
That said, drivers often can't fix malfunctioning current day machinery on their own anyway.
>reliable wired and wireless connection
The wireless connections have been reliable all things considered. Unfortunately DB wants to move away from its own GSM-R mobile network and start using public mobile networks instead for the next iteration (LTE-R or something 5G-based), which is a little worrying, especially considering how bad coverage along railway lines is in general.
Wired connections are obviously always at risk of being targeted by criminals for a variety of reasons, which ultimately may also hit the backbone to the (locally) wireless infrastructure.new austrian rail projects just dropped
