The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
There is no direct rail line staying entirely within Austria between Salzburg and Innsbruck - the fast route runs via Rosenheim in the German state of Bavaria, using the largely-German Rosenheim-Salzburg and Rosenheim-Kufstein railways before re-entering Austria at Kufstein; a traveller who assumes this is a purely domestic Austrian journey is wrong.

Hours
ÖBB's own destination page confirms an hourly direct RJX connection between Salzburg and Innsbruck, though it does not itself state a journey time; independent sources put the run at roughly 2 hours, with figures seen ranging from about 1 hour 57 minutes to 2 hours 13 minutes.

Access
Because part of the route runs through the EU/Schengen territory of Germany rather than Austria alone, non-EU travellers should carry the same documents they would for any Schengen border crossing, even though no border check is normally performed on board.
