The Chabówka – Zakopane railway is a single-track, electrified railway connection in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in southern Poland , which was originally built and operated as the state-guaranteed local Chabówka – Zakopane (Polish: Kolej Lokalna Chabówka – Zakopane ). It runs from Chabówka via Nowy Targ ( Neumarkt ) to Zakopane and is part of the main connection Kraków- Zakopane.
history
The concession "to build and operate a standard-gauge locomotive railway from the Chabówka station of the Imperial and Royal State Railways via Neumarkt to Zakopane" was granted to landowner Ladislaw Count Zamoyski on November 4, 1897. Part of the concession was the obligation to start construction of the line immediately and within two years to complete. The duration of the concession was set at 90 years. The concessionaire was also obliged to build a branch line from Neumarkt to the national border against Kralován , if the state government so requested .
The capital of the Chabówka – Zakopane Railway Company, founded in 1898, was 3,540,000 crowns . The company was based in Vienna.

The line was opened on October 25, 1899. The kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) ran the business on behalf of the owners. After the First World War, the newly founded Polish State Railways (PKP) took the place of the kkStB . During the German occupation of Poland from 1939 to 1945 , the line was operated by the Eastern Railway .
The line has been electrified throughout since 1975.
