==(Bregenz -) Lochau-Hörbranz ÖBB - Lindau-Reutin DB (- Lindau-Insel/Hergatz)==
[E] ÖBB and SBB work to Lindau using electric locomotives. No DB electric stock is seen at Lindau because only the line to Bregenz is electrified. A small pool of SBB locomotives, specially-fitted with an ÖBB pantograph as well as the smaller Swiss one, are used on passenger trains between Zürich and Lindau.
[E] ÖBB works to Lindau-Insel (the former Lindau Hbf) using electric multiple units. With the electrification in 2020 of the line from München via Memmingen, SBB multi-system high-speed trainsets are used on ''EuroCity Express'' (''ECE'') trains between Zürich and München via Lindau-Reutin and the curve to Lindau-Aeschach, avoiding Lindau-Insel.

Wachtl MEGW - Gießenbachklamm MEGW (- Kiefersfelden)

[E] This (former?) private cement works line is 900 mm gauge and is electrified at 1200 V dc. Tourist trains have not operated since 2017 as the railway did not pass an official inspection. The railway preservation society's homepage has not been updated since 2019 so it appears increasingly unlikely that services will ever be reinstated.

Kufstein ÖBB - Kiefersfelden DB (- Rosenheim)

[E] Through trains between Innsbruck and Salzburg are worked by ÖBB with Railjet trainsets. These trains use the Rosenheim avoiding line in Germany, together with the entry immediately below. As these trains do not stop in Germany, domestic Austrian tickets are valid. ÖBB works some trains to München using Railjet trainsets. DB operates EC and ICE trains between München and Innsbruck using electric locomotives and hauled stock, and ICE trainsets, respectively.

BRB (Bayerische Regiobahn) operates local services to Kufstein, and occasionally Innsbruck, with EMUs. DB electric locomotives are used on freight to Brenner/Brennero.

Salzburg ÖBB - Freilassing DB (- Rosenheim)

[E] Most long-distance trains are worked by ÖBB using Railjet trainsets with electric locomotives. These run from Wien via Salzburg to München and to Innsbruck and beyond. The Innsbruck trains use the Rosenheim avoiding line in Germany, together with the entry immediately above. As the Innsbruck trains do not stop in Germany, domestic Austrian tickets are valid. DB operates a few IC services to and from Salzburg and EC services to Graz and Klagenfurt, all with coaching stock hauled by DB electric locomotives. Westbahn operates several daily Wien - Salzburg - München services using double-deck EMUs.

BRB (Bayerische Regiobahn) operates regional services between Salzburg and München using EMUs under the designation RE5.

Südostbayernbahn DMUs are also used by ÖBB on Freilassing – Salzburg – Braunau am Inn services, as ÖBB's Class 5047 diesel railcars which would otherwise be used are not cleared to Freilassing.

DB electric locomotives are possibly used on freight to Villach or beyond.
