history
The first plans to build a railway from Komárno to Trenčín were made in 1865, and then in the 1870s. However, none of these plans were implemented.
A local railway company was only founded in January 1900. The route was originally supposed to start in Žabokreky nad Nitrou , but the beginning had to be moved to Chynorany because of the resistance of the local large estate owner. The route was opened to traffic on August 18, 1901.
Passenger traffic was stopped on February 2, 2003, but was reactivated on June 15, 2003.
Current condition: 4 pairs of passenger trains run on this route. In the direction of Trencin-Chynorany, one train runs daily from Trencianska Tepla to Topol'cany and another train only on working days from Trencin to Topol'cany.
