The Bošice – Svojšice railway was a freight service only rail link in today's Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated as part of the Peček – Zasmuk local railway with branches by the Austrian Local Railway Company (ÖLEG). It branched off in Bošice from the Pečky – Zásmuky line and led to the sugar factory in Svojšice .
history
The concession for a " Locomotiv railway from the Peček station to Zasmuk with branches " was awarded to the ÖLEG on August 28, 1880. The law also stipulated the permit for a branch line to Kouřim and to the Karlsthal sugar factory (cukrovar Karlov) in Svojšice. The ÖLEG opened the lines of the local line Peček – Zasmuk with all branch lines on February 15, 1882. The operation was carried out by the ÖLEG itself.
The line primarily connected the Karlsthal sugar factory to the railway network, but initially it was also used for public goods transport to and from Svojšice in accordance with the license.
On January 1, 1884, the privileged Austro-Hungarian State Railway Company (StEG) took over the branch line. After its nationalization, it came into the ownership of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) on October 15, 1909 . In 1916, the kkStB downgraded them to a non-public siding (vlečka).
The Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD), founded in 1918, shut down the line in 1926 and dismantled it. Only a short stub of the track remained and is now used as a connecting railway for the Správa státních hmotných rezerv BOLETEX warehouse.
