In Czechia, for example, \u201cthe corridor line Hranice na Morav\u011b \u2013 Ostrava-Kun\u010dice should probably be put into operation on Friday, 20 September 2024\u201d, rail freight operator \u010cD Cargo pointed out.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span id=\"more-56286\"><\/span>\u201cSlow journeys will be introduced in critical places, which will be reflected in the reduced capacity of this section\u201d, the company added. However, the timetable for the full reopening of other routes in Czechia remains unclear. The line between Ostrava and D\u011btmarovice, which leads into Poland, does not yet have a reopening date scheduled, \u010cD Cargo specified.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/09\/18\/backlog-due-to-floods-will-last-for-days\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Floods-in-Austria-2-128x128.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/09\/18\/backlog-due-to-floods-will-last-for-days\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">\u2018Backlog due to floods will last for days\u2019<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Austria<\/h2>\n<p>The situation remains quite complicated for Austria as well. The Vienna-Salzburg line, for instance, remains unavailable due to a flooded tunnel in Atzenbrugg, where water levels reached one metre. \u201cThe task now is to restore the power supply, pump out the water and repair the damage\u201d, Austrian rail freight company Rail Cargo Group underlined. The company pointed out that making predictions is quite difficult but that the situation is improving by the day.<\/p>\n<h2>Poland<\/h2>\n<p>The scenario seems a tad less catastrophic in Poland, where \u201cthe main lines are passable\u201d, as infrastructure manager PKP PLK mentioned. However, circumstances are far from optimal along the Polish-Czech border crossings, with many of them remaining largely unavailable. Some passenger traffic was restored along the Zebrzydowice \u2013 Petrovice border crossing, but dozens of trains, both passenger and freight, keep getting cancelled or running on shortened routes.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/09\/17\/damage-of-floods-to-rail-freight-is-immense\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ANP-508650031-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/railfreight\/2024\/09\/17\/damage-of-floods-to-rail-freight-is-immense\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">\u2018Damage of floods to rail freight is immense\u2019<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a week of disruptions caused by heavy rainfalls and floods in Central and Eastern Europe, some important rail freight lines are slowly starting to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1431,10091,7483,13369,9453,343,6236,2832,2922,47],"tags":[12634],"class_list":["post-129570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-austria","category-cd-cargo","category-czechia","category-extreme-weather","category-floods","category-infrastructure","category-pkp-plk","category-poland","category-rail-cargo-group","category-rail-news","tag-railfreight"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129570"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":129572,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129570\/revisions\/129572"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
