From October 16 to November 26, 2023, DB Netz AG's construction projects in the Traunstein - Rumgraben and Rottau - Übersee am Deutschen Eck regions will inevitably reshape the train service schedule, with a considerable ripple effect on ÖBB's long-distance services.

Of the many anticipated changes, a significant portion of the RJ and RJX trains will reroute through Zell am See. Consequently, travelers expecting to stop in Kufstein will need to adjust their plans as this stop will be temporarily discontinued for diverted trains. Moreover, the detour through Zell am See may prolong travel times by up to 90 minutes.

In addition to rerouting, rail replacement services will be a frequent fixture between Salzburg and various Tyrolean destinations, including Kufstein, Wörgl, Jenbach, and Innsbruck. Those opting for this service should be prepared for departure times delayed by up to 15 minutes and extended travel durations that could be up to half an hour longer than the usual train schedules.

Moreover, certain RJ, RJX, and EC routes connecting major cities like Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Klagenfurt, and Frankfurt, which typically pass through or terminate in Salzburg Hbf, will be truncated due to the construction. They will either commence or conclude their journey at Salzburg Hbf. Furthermore, passengers intending to board the NJ services 468 (Vienna Hbf - Paris Est) and 469 (Paris Est - Vienna Hbf) should be cognizant of their cancellations on specific dates at the end of October.
