| Muhlkreistalbahn |
The route continues from Urfahr on the Danube's north bank, as almost a suburban commuter route as far as Rottenegg. After there, it changes into a very rural line with steep ascents out to Rohrbach and ending at Aigen.
The line is not electrified, and has no working depots, stock being fuelled at Urfahr station..
The link to the main network is via the Eisenbahnbrucke to the Linz Hafen network.
