Severe storms severely damaged the power supply and rail infrastructure in southern Austria on Thursday afternoon. ÖBB stopped all train traffic in Carinthia, East Tyrol and Styria in the afternoon.

According to Bahn, there is a breakdown of all train traffic in the affected region. Trains on the route were diverted to the next station. Replacement traffic is only possible to a limited extent.
