history

The line was opened from 1888-1909 by the Royal Prussian State Railways : First, on September 1, 1888, the nearly seven-kilometer section from Schwetz , a town of over six thousand inhabitants, to Terespol on the Bromberg – Danzig line, which had existed since 1852, was put into operation . Next followed on October 2, 1906, the section from Vandsburg on the Nakel – Konitz line to Flatow (West Prussia) on the Konitz – Schneidemühl line , part of the main line of the Royal Prussian Eastern Railway . The middle section from Terespol to Vandsburg follows on June 18, 1909.

In 1914, eight trains per day and direction ran between Schwetz and Terespol, and four between Terespol and Flatow. After the First World War and the Treaty of Versailles , the new German-Polish border ran between Kujan and Dorotheenhof, the line was interrupted, and in 1936 two pairs of trains ran daily to Kujan on the German side. After the German occupation of Poland in 1939 , the line was completed again, as it was then passed to the Polish State Railways .

In 1993 the passenger traffic between Pruszcz-Bagienica and Złotów was stopped, in 1994 that between Terespol Pomorski and Pruszcz-Bagienica and in 1996 that between Świecie nad Wisłą and Terespol Pomorski. With the exception of a short section at Terespol Pomorski, the line was then closed.
