history
On October 25, 1867, a pre-concession for the planning of a railway line from Raab, today's Győr , via Pápa , Celldömölk , Szombathely (Steinamanger) and Körmend to the former to Graz , the so-called " Hungarian Western Railway ", was granted. In 1869 the license was granted to the consortium of the Hungarian General Credit Bank in Budapest with Weikersheim MH és társa bank for the route from Győr to the Styrian border near Jennersdorf , which also included Mogersdorf. So there was nothing to prevent the construction of the line to Jennersdorf and thus the construction of the Mogersdorf train station. The Austrian half of the empire granted the concession for the Austrian section to Graz on February 20, 1870.
As early as September 1, 1872, the line in the Szombathely (Steinamanger) - Gyanafalva (Jennersdorf) section was opened, giving Mogersdorf (Nagyfalva) its connection to the railway network. With the opening of the section to Graz on May 1, 1873, the connection to the Austrian railway network was established.
After the treaties of St. Germain and Trianon became German-West Hungary on September 10, 1919 , Burgenland and with it Mogersdorf became Austria. On April 5, 1921, Emperor Karl I traveled from Hungary by train into exile in Switzerland and also traveled through Mogersdorf. During the long stay in Jennersdorf, the emperor was received with a ceremony.
It was not until the Austrian army occupied southern Burgenland that Mogersdorf train station became the border point to Hungary.
On January 1, 1925, the section of the route, which had been run by the Southern Railway Company, was nationalized. The management was taken over by the Federal Railway Directorate Vienna-Southwest.
According to a report in the Güssinger Zeitung of February 22, 1931, the Mogersdorf station should have been a branch station for the railway line to be built from Mogersdorf to Güssing. The route was intended to open up the southern part of Burgenland. To this end, a law was introduced as early as 1929 authorizing the Austrian state to acquire the Austrian part of the Körmend – Güssing local railway from the state border near Strem and to build a line via Heiligenkreuz to Mogersdorf. A purchase price of 300,000 schillings was agreed for the acquisition of the local railway . The Reichspost reported on February 15, 1931 that the construction costs for the new, 21- kilometer- long route to be built were estimated at around 12 million schillings, which should employ around 1000 workers at this time of the economic crisis. The construction of the line was to begin as early as May 1931. The construction time was estimated at three years. The federal states of Burgenland and Styria should also be consulted for the construction of the line ., In October 1931 these plans came to nothing; the construction was postponed until a later point in time "until the necessary funds are secured from the federal government". The restrictive fiscal policy at the time of the global economic crisis caused the project to ultimately fail.
On March 13, 1938, Austria was annexed to the German Reich , making the line and thus the Mogersdorf station subordinate to the Vienna Reich Railway Directorate . Towards the end of the Second World War , rail traffic had to be stopped on May 8, 1945. Only on June 1, 1946 could the train service be resumed.
After the Second World War, migrant trains were led from Hungary to Graz. Seven to eight passenger trains ran every day. A special feature was the management of a train on Mondays from Mogersdorf via Fehring to Vienna .
In the run-up to the Hungarian People's Uprising , on February 16, 1953, passenger trains ceased to cross the Hungarian border, making Mogersdorf the terminus and departure station for passenger trains on the Austrian side. The Austrian Federal Railroad Agency was also withdrawn from Szentgotthárd in Hungary to Jennersdorf station .
From May 1959, the steam locomotives were replaced by diesel locomotives in the Graz – Mogersdorf section.
With the timetable change on May 30, 1965, cross-border passenger train traffic across the Hungarian border was resumed with two pairs of trains. On this occasion, the General Director of the Austrian Federal Railways Maximilian Schantl and his Hungarian counterpart also met. The banquet was held in the Raffel Inn in Jennersdorf.
In 1972, ticket sales in Mogersdorf were discontinued, so the stop was unoccupied from that point on. The tickets had to be bought on the train.
In the 2013/14 timetable, twelve pairs of regional trains run in Mogersdorf.
There is a Park & Ride facility with parking spaces for six cars and six bicycles right next to the stop . Access is via a municipal road that crosses the railway line at a level crossing right next to the stop .
Around 550 meters west of the stops, there is currently (2014) a second level crossing where farmers can reach their fields. Due to the level crossing ordinance issued in 2012, this should have been secured by the municipality at a cost of 800,000 euros. In negotiations with the Austrian Federal Railways, the municipality was able to achieve that this is now abandoned and united with the level crossing at the stop. To this end, this crossing has been expanded by the Austrian Federal Railways since November 2014 and equipped with barriers and traffic lights. The farmers can then reach their fields via an existing alternative route, which is also being expanded. The work should be completed by mid-2015. This should also prevent accidents like the one on February 16, 2005 when a driver from Deutsch Minihof drove his car into the level crossing despite the stop sign and was hit by a freight train. The driver and his partner were injured to an indefinite degree.
