The Bánréve – Fiľakovo railway is a predominantly single-track main line in Hungary and Slovakia . It leads from Bánréve in Hungary via Jesenské to Fiľakovo . From Lenartovce to Fiľakovo it is part of the southern Slovak railroad from Košice to Zvolen .

history

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 the entire route was opened to traffic on September 10, 1873.

After the First World War and the Treaty of Trianon , the route was from the rail kilometer 45.114 near Bánréve on the territory of the newly established Czechoslovakia . By the First Vienna Arbitration , it was 1938-1945 again in Hungary.

After the Second World War, it became part of the so-called southern Slovak railroad. The two-track expansion began in the 1970s. Completed sections are located at Jesenské and Rimavská Seč .

Passenger traffic across the state border between Lenartovce and Bánréve was discontinued in December 2009, and passenger trains between Jesenske and Lenartovce were discontinued in 2012. Since then, only passenger trains have remained in transit from Fiľakovo via Jesenské to Rimavská Sobota . Otherwise, express trains run every two hours on the Zvolen – Košice route, stopping in Fiľakovo, Jesenské and, in some cases, in Číž .
