The Čelákovice – Brandýs nad Labem railway is a railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the Austrian Local Railway Company (ÖLEG) as part of the state-guaranteed Brandeis – Mochow local railway . The line branches off in Čelákovice from the Lysá nad Labem – Praha railway line and leads to Brandýs nad Labem in Central Bohemia , where it joins the Brandýs nad Labem – Neratovice railway line .

According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.

history

Today's railway line Čelákovice – Brandýs nad Labem was part of a local railway project of the ÖLEG in Central Bohemia, which provided routes from Čelákovice to both Mochov and Brandýs nad Labem. On November 7, 1881, the concession for these routes was granted. They were opened on January 11, 1883.

Initially, the ÖLEG ran the business itself. From July 1, 1885, the Bohemian Commercial Railways (BCB) took over this task, from July 18, 1890, the Austro-Hungarian State Railroad Company (StEG).

On July 15, 1899, the line was extended as a state-guaranteed local line Brandeis on the Elbe – Neratowitz to Neratovice. The operator there was also the StEG, but no through traffic was organized. There were no connections between the passenger trains on both routes.

With the nationalization of the StEG in 1909, operational management was formally transferred to the Imperial and Royal State Railways, but it continued to be carried out by the operational management for the lines of the State Railroad Company. In 1912, the local railway timetable showed five mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains every day. Another only ran on Sundays and public holidays. The trains took 17 minutes for the eight-kilometer route.

After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, management was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). After the nationalization of the Brandeis local railway on the Elbe – Neratowitz in 1925, the ČSD merged the two lines organizationally and relocated the operating center to the Brandýs nad Labem mesto station ( Brandýs town; today: Brandýs nad Labem ). The old Brandýs station (today: Brandýs nad Labem-Zápská ) was largely abandoned.

In the early 1930s, the use of modern motor trains made it possible to consolidate the timetable. The winter timetable 1937/38 recorded nine pairs of passenger trains on weekdays, three of which were motorized trains.

During the Second World War, the line remained in operation of the now Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia (BMB-ČMD). In contrast to many other routes, the timetable was only limited to a minor extent. For the first time, some passenger trains to and from Neratovice have now also been tied through.

After the Second World War, the ČSD gradually increased travel to up to 13 pairs of trains a day, which have been run exclusively as motorized trains since the early 1950s. Since then, most trains have been serving the Čelákovice – Neratovice route.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).

Since December 15, 2013, travel on the route has been integrated into the Esko Praha line system as line S23 . Passenger trains serve the route every hour , with every second from and to Neratovice being connected.
