The biggest risk is invisible: electricity. Refrain from climbing adventures on our trains, feats on track bridges, and "daredevils." As a general rule, stay away from traction power lines. The power lines that make our trains run carry 15,000 volts . If you get too close to the power line, you put your life at risk. That's because electricity, in the form of an arc, can be life-threatening even over a distance of several meters.
Our safety tips:
- Keep a safe distance from traction power lines!
- Never climb onto train cars: The train station is not a playground!
- Never fly a kite near power lines!
- Don't do any "dares" or "tricks" on bridges above the tracks!
Our safety campaign
The safety campaign of ÖBB-Infrastruktur tries to show especially children and young people that careless behavior near trains and stations can be life-threatening.
