Latest news: Recent railway developments show strategic shifts across Europe. Eviden and CFL are implementing a phased transition from GSM-R to FRMCS in Luxembourg, with national rollout by 2027. In Austria, ÖBB Group competitors gained significant freight market share (48%), according to Schienen-Control. However, Hungarian rail freight faces challenging conditions with rising costs and weakening demand, Hungrail reports. HŽ Cargo, Budamar Logistics, and Luka Rijeka launched a new intermodal Ro-Ro service via the Port of Rijeka. OnTrain also received its first Newag Dragon 2 locomotive, and Alstom opened a new parts logistics hub in Salzgitter, Germany.
