The Červenka – Litovel railway is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the priv. Austro-Hungarian State Railway Company (StEG) as the Littau – Littau Stadt local railway . It runs from Červenka ( Schwarzbach ) to Litovel ( Littau ).
According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.
history
The StEG received the concession for the local railway Littau – Littau Stadt on March 11, 1883 together with the Sadska – Nimburg and Minkowitz – Swolenowes lines . Part of the concession was the obligation to “ complete the routes and hand them over to public transport ” by December 31, 1883 . The license was issued until December 31, 1965. The line was opened on July 10, 1886. The StEG carried out the operation itself.
On January 1st, 1908, the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) took over the management. With the nationalization of the StEG on October 15, 1909, the infrastructure came to the kkStB. In 1912, the local railroad's timetable indicated six 2nd and 3rd class passenger trains. It took them eight minutes to cover the three-kilometer route. The local railway Littau – Groß Senitz opened the connecting line to Groß Senitz on August 1, 1914. A continuous travel to Groß Senitz was not initially set up.
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, the route was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). The 1931 timetable recorded seven pairs of third-class passenger trains every day, four of which ran through to Litovel-Chořelice. In the mid-1930s, tourist traffic was finally discontinued in favor of newly established bus routes.
During the Second World War , the route lay entirely in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The operators were now the Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). At that time, travel was also resumed. In the 1944 timetable, three pairs of passenger trains were listed that now ran continuously to Senice.
On May 9, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD. As an innovation, mainly modern motor trains were now used in tourist traffic . The first post-war timetable from 1945 recorded a total of 13 train pairs between Červenka and Litovel pivovar, four of which were tied through to Senice na Hané.
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).
In the 2013 annual timetable, the route is served by passenger trains every two hours, most of which are connected to and from Prostějov .
