Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo (WLC) The Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo owns the license to travel on tracks in
Austria and the EU. The WLC partly uses its own infrastructure (with its own trains), and third party tracks (also with its own trains) for cargo services. The WLC also owns several cargo rail cars. The following trains are used by the WLC: • 1 diesel engine, built by the former "Jenbacher Werke" • 3 diesel engines, ex DR, series V100 The WLC also rented 11
Eurosprinter ES64 U2 engines from
Siemens-Dispolok. Three electric locomotives (1116 series) are described as
Bosporus-sprinters, because they are equipped with railway supervision systems currently used in trains in Hungary (EVM 120), Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. These trains are currently used in the daily "East Line Shuttle" (Duisburg – Enns/Krems/Wien – Budapest) and in trains going to Hungary. There are another 8 electric locomotives from the 1116 series, which are mostly used in north–south routes (North sea docks – Austria). These locomotives all wear the colors of the WLC, except the locomotive no. 83, which is red. The WLC colors are blue and creme white. The cargo division was separated from the main company in late 2007 and is a 100% subsidiary of WLB, run under the name Wiener Lokalbahnen Cargo GmbH (WLC). In 2006 the total revenue was 26,1 Mio. EUR. The goal for 2008 is to increase the cargo volume, especially in the combined freight transport. WLC also operated several Siemens ES64U4 locomotives (numbers 951 to 954) that were sold to the
České Dráhy in 2021, having already operated in the Czech Republic prior to their sale. At the end of 2014, it purchased a
Siemens Vectron with the UIC number of 91 81 1193 980-0. In 2017 it purchased three
Bombardier TRAXX F140 AC3 locomotives (921-923), followed in 2019 by three more (924-926). Currently two locomotives wear its new livery unveiled in 2020: its sole Vectron (980) and TRAXX number 921. It has also leased other ES64U2 Taurus and Vectron locomotives from various leasing companies, notably
Railpool and
MRCE and
European Locomotive Leasing.
Wiener Lokalbahnen Verkehrsdienste (WLV) The main assignment of this company is to transport severely handicapped people. The travel bus division of the WLB was also reassigned to the WLV, and so all travel buses had to be re-registered to the WLV. The fleet for disabled consists of 98 Mercedes vans, which are all handicapped accessible. The travel bus fleet mostly consists of buses of the companies
Setra,
Volvo and
Neoplan.
Wiener Lokalbahnen Busbetrieb (WLBB) The WLBB was established in 2004, and is operative since early 2005. The first two bus lines of the WLBB were the 27A (since 2 June 2005) and 37A (since 9 October 2005), which were operated on behalf of the
Wiener Linien. On 1 February, the bus lines 16A and 60A were transferred from the WLB to the WLBB. Therefore, only the bus lines in the region of Baden are operated by the WLB themselves. Since 6 August 2006 the WLBB operate the Viennese bus line 80A instead of the
ÖBB-Postbus GmbH on behalf of the Wiener Linien. In 2012, the Wiener Lokalbahnen sold the WLBB to the Austrian transportation company
