The Bánréve – Dobšiná railway is a railway line in Hungary and Slovakia . It leads from Bánréve in Hungary via Tornaľa and Rožňava to Dobšiná . The cross-border section Bánréve– Abovce has been closed since 1920. From Abovce to Rožňava it is part of the southern Slovakian railroad from Zvolen to Košice .

history

Tornaľa Railway Station (2010)

The railway line was built a few years after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise , when Slovakia was still part of the Kingdom of Hungary . At that time they wanted to connect the ore and copper deposits as well as the wood and iron industry in Gemer and Kleinhont counties to the railway network.

The concession was granted on June 29, 1870 to a consortium led by Ferenc Pulzsky. The actual construction began in 1871 under the direction of the Berlin railway entrepreneur Hermann Bachstein . But the consortium's insolvency on other rail projects in Hungary and Romania slowed down construction. Ultimately, the state took over the further construction and future operation in return for a “reverse” guarantee from the consortium. The Ministry of Transport awarded the construction to Bachstein again and despite a plague epidemic in 1873, the railway line was opened in two parts: the Bánréve – Pleissnitz –Rosenau section was opened to traffic on May 1, 1874, the remaining line to Dobšiná on June 20, 1874 . At that time an extension towards Poprad or Zipser Neudorf was expected . In the 1880s the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) took over the operation.

After the First World War and the Treaty of Trianon , most of the route lay on the territory of the newly established Czechoslovakia . From the rest of Czechoslovakia it could only be reached via the Hungarian Bánréve train station. With the construction of the connecting arch from Lenartovce to Abovce at the end of 1920, this situation was remedied and the Abovce – Bánréve section was closed.

After the First Vienna Arbitration , the railway line was divided into two parts: the Betliar – Dobšiná section remained on the territory of Czechoslovakia or in the Slovak state , south of it it came back to Hungary. With the construction of the so-called Gemerer connecting railways , a direct connection with the rest of the Slovak rail network should be established again. However, they were not completed until the end of World War II, and construction was no longer necessary after the pre-war borders were restored.

The Abovce – Rožňava section achieved a certain upswing in importance when it became part of the southern Slovakian railroad and, after the Turňa nad Bodvou – Rožňava line was completed in 1955, it was connected directly to eastern Slovakia .

After the division of Czechoslovakia in 1993, the railway infrastructure went to the Slovak company Železnice Slovenskej republiky . On February 2, 2003, passenger traffic on the Rožňava – Dobšiná section was shut down.

There are no more local trains in the 2013/2014 timetable. There are several express trains every day that stop at Tornaľa, Plešivec and Rožňava stations. Freight traffic is still taking place.
