Railways are the future.

A successful railway is the backbone of environmentally friendly transport in the future.
Schienen-Control is responsible for ensuring that rail transport is
  • freely available
  • affordable for everyone, and
  • an attractive alternative to other modes of transport.
Our aim is to see even more traffic is transferred to rail.
