The railway line Český Těšín – Polanka nad Odrou is an electrified, double-track main line ("celostatní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the kk priv. Ostrau-Friedlander Eisenbahn (OFE) as the local railway Schönbrunn-Witkowitz-Teschen. It runs from Český Těšín / Cieszyn ( Teschen ) via Havířov and Vítkovice ( Witkowitz ) to Polanka nad Odrou .

history
The OFE received the concession for the Schönbrunn-Witkowitz-Teschen local railway with a branch to Freistadt on August 28, 1909. Part of the concession was the obligation to clear the Kunzendorf-Suchau section within one year “ of the dates set by the Imperial and Royal Railway Ministry for the Beginning of the construction work ”to be completed. The license was issued until December 31, 1985.
As the first part of the local railway, the line between Kunzendorf and Suchau went into operation on November 15, 1911 . On September 1, 1914, the section between Suchau and Teschen followed, then construction work came to a standstill as a result of the First World War . The operation was carried out by the kk Nordbahndirektion of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) for the account of the Ostrau-Friedlander Eisenbahn. In 1912, the local railway timetable indicated four mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains between Groß Kunzendorf and Suchau. They needed about 45 minutes for the 14 kilometer route.

After the end of the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) took over the management. The part of the line on the right bank of the Olsa was henceforth on the territory of the newly founded Republic of Poland . This section was abandoned in 1930 in favor of a connecting curve from Albrechtice to the Kaschau-Oderberger Bahn. The Polish State Railways (PKP) later operated the Marklowice – Cieszyn section as part of the Zebrzydowice – Cieszyn line . The new line from Zebrzydowice to Marklowice went into operation on November 10, 1934.
With the nationalization of the OFE on January 1, 1936, the infrastructure also belonged to the ČSD network from then on. The winter timetable of 1937/38 recorded up to seven trains a day on the entire route. Six other sections served. Three pairs of trains were driven with modern motor trains.
On October 2, 1938, the Republic of Poland annexed the entire Olsa area and thus also part of the railway area. Until the beginning of the Second World War , the Cieszyn Zachodni – Szumbark Śl section now belonged. (Český Těšín – Šumbark) to the PKP network. After the occupation of Poland by the German Reich in autumn 1939, this section came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Opole . The remainder of the route remaining in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia was operated by the Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). In the imperial course book the connection was included as course book route 149s Teschen – Schles Schumbarg – Kunzendorf (Ostr) . After the end of the Second World War, the entire line came back to the ČSD.
At the end of the 1950s, ČSD began to convert the line into a double-track, electrified main line. Part of the project was also the unfinished section from Kunčice to Polanka nad Odrou and Ostrava-Svínov. The first section was the completely new route between Havířov and Albrechtice that went into operation in 1962 . On December 22, 1964, the line from Ostrava-Kunčice via Vítkovice to Polanka nad Odrou was completed. The line was electrified throughout until 1965.
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 2012 timetable run on the track, the lines S1 (Opava východ-Ostrava-Svinov-Havířov-Český Těšín) and R1 (Opava východ-Ostrava-Svinov-Ostrava hl. N.-Havířov-Český Těšín) of the transport system Esko Moravian-Silesian Region .
