Location
Wörgl Hauptbahnhof Location within Austria

Wörgl Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station of Wörgl, a city in the Kufstein district of the Austrian federal state of Tyrol, about 20 km from the state border with Bavaria. It is a major hub for regional and international rail travel, both passenger and freight.

Wörgl is located at the junction of two major rail lines.

One is the former Lower Inn Valley Railway, designed by Alois Negrelli, the engineer who designed the Suez Canal, and opened in 1858. The route runs from Munich through Wörgl and Innsbruck to Verona. It was constructed by engineer Carl Ritter von Ghega, who also built the Semmering railway.

The second is the electrified Western Railway, which runs from Vienna through Linz, Salzburg and Wörgl to Buchs, St. Gallen on the Swiss border. Some of its sections were once part of other lines: the Empress Elisabeth Railway from Vienna to Wörgl, the Salzburg-Tyrol Railway from Salzburg to Wörgl, and the Brixental Railway from Zell am See to Wörgl.

The city of Wörgl, located on the right bank of the river Inn about 60 kilometres east of Innsbruck, Austria, is the second most important stop on the Western Railway, after Innsbruck. In 2013, more than 12,000 travellers passed through the station daily, nearly as many people as live in Wörgl itself. Commuters to Innsbruck's main railway station comprise the second-highest volume of passengers in the state of Tyrol. A comprehensive bus network based on the station makes the city of Wörgl is one of the most transit-connected municipalities in Austria.
