history
On March 9, 1880, the construction company Schön & Wessely in Prague and Hermann Ritter von Schwind were given " the right to build and operate a locomotive railway from the Časlau station of the priv. Austrian Northwest Railway via Žleb and Ronow to Zawratec with a branch from Skowitz to Vrdý and Bučitz " granted. The concession determined the execution of the line as a standard gauge secondary line, the line speed should be limited to 20 km / h. The joint use of the Reichsstraße from Časlau to Chrudim was approved on part of the route. The concessionaires were obliged to start construction within three months of the granting of the concession. The Časlau – Žleb and Skowitz – Vrdý-Bučitz lines should be completed within two years and the entire line within three years. The concession deed was changed again on August 21, 1881. The Austrian state now reserved the right to nationalize at any time.
The concession was transferred to the newly founded ÖLEG during the construction phase. This opened the routes of the locomotive railway from Časlau to Zawratec with branches on January 6, 1881 (Čáslav – Žleby, Skovice – Vrdy-Bučice) and February 15, 1882 (Žleby – Závratec-Třemošnice). The ÖLEG carried out the operation itself.
The route opened up an agricultural hilly country in the middle of Bohemia, where sugar beet cultivation and sugar production were particularly characteristic. In the railway area of the secondary railway there were a total of three sugar factories connected by branch tracks, for example in Žleby, Vrdy and Bučice. The Kinsky counts' lime works in Závratec, which obtained their raw materials from the lime quarries near Prachovice via a cable car , were later an important customer of goods .
From July 1, 1889, the Austrian Northwest Railway (ÖNWB) took over the management on behalf of the owner. After the nationalization of the ÖLEG on January 1, 1894, the line came into the ownership of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). The ÖNWB was finally nationalized in 1909, so management was also transferred to the kkStB.
As a result of the First World War lost by Austria , the line belonged to the network of the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) from 1918 . The first ČSD timetable from 1919 showed a total of two pairs of passenger trains over the entire route. Another ran from Časlav via Skovice to Vrdy-Bučice.
At the end of the 1980s, the local railway's timetable recorded a total of seven pairs of trains between Časlav and Třemošnice.
After the velvet revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the volume of travel and freight traffic gradually declined. Faster bus routes and increasing individual transport pulled travelers away. On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The state organization Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC) has been the railway infrastructure company since 2003 .
The 2010 timetable provides for a total of 12 pairs of daily passenger trains on weekdays, which run every hour . Trains run every two hours on weekends. Only the two-axle railcars of the ČD series 810 are used .
