Route and stations from Linz Hbf- Eferding

Here we present the route map of the section, along with pictures of its stations. Clicking on a picture will either enlarge the original or move you to a more detailed page on that location.

Up till 2005, LiLo had its own Lokalbahnhof about 5 minutes walk from the Hauptbahnhof to which it moved in Nopvermber 2006. From both stations the line runs parallel to the Westbahn, as far as Leonding. There LiLo splits off and heads through rolling countryside towards Alkovar. Along the way are signs of indutrial freight traffic, and at Alkovar a granary. More countryside follows as it parallel the main road before twisting away and entering Eferding itself.
