On January 1st, 2020 SETG (operated by S-Rail) took over the operation of the rail siding of AustroCel Hallein GmbH in Hallein, Salzburg. About 7,000 waggons of freight from the product groups chemicals, wood chips and cellulose are moved on this segment of this leading company based in Salzburg.
On work days, the shunting team at the Hallein railway station accepts and provides single waggons, waggon groups and block trains to and from railway companies. The extensive rail siding also runs through tight passageways at the traditional industrial location of Hallein.
At their Hallein site, SETG has been operating the SINGLE-Link to Koper, Slovenia. In 2018 the transport of wood chips from Upper Palatinate to Hallein was shifted from the road to the block train operated three times per week.
