Following the expansion of high-frequency long-haul services, the Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is also pushing ahead with the expansion of its own traction services to ensure continued high quality along the entire transport and logistics chain. With the purchase of a Polish rail transport company, the ÖBB cargo division is now operating in a total of 12 countries with its own traction. This is told on the RCG blog in the run-up to the transport logistic trade fair in Munich. RCG will carry out transports for the steel processing industry in Austria with its own locomotives from autumn 2019 in Poland. This is according to a statement of ÖBB’s CEO Andreas Matthä at the Munich trade fair. The name of Rail Time Polska, which was acquired in Poland, will be renamed to XXXXXX .
