The Linzer Lokalbahn (LILO) is a network of three standard-gauge, single-track railway lines in Upper Austria. It originally consisted only of the line opened in 1912 from the provincial capital Linz via the district town of Eferding to Waizenkirchen. In 1998 the existing line from Neumarkt-Kallham (on the Wels–Passau railway) to Waizenkirchen, together with its branch to Peuerbach, was incorporated into the Linzer Lokalbahn. With approximately 1.6 million passengers per year (2011 figures), the Linzer Lokalbahn is the most important of the railways operated by Stern & Hafferl. It serves the agriculturally and touristically significant area west of the city of Linz on the Danube.

Since 11 December 2016 the section Linz–Eferding has been served by line S5 of the S-Bahn Upper Austria.
