The Győr – Sopron – Ebenfurth railway is a 116.846 km long, cross-border, single-track railway line between Hungary and Austria . It was opened by the GySEV on January 2, 1876, initially between Győr ( German  Raab ) and Sopron ( German  Ödenburg ), and finally the second section from Sopron to Ebenfurth followed on October 28, 1879 . The letters contained in GySEV, the Hungarian abbreviation for the Raaberbahn, stand for the most important places (Gy or R for Győr / Raab, S or Oe for Sopron / Oedenburg, E for Ebenfurth , just like in the old German-language abbreviation ROeEE ) ) on the first stretch of the railroad. While commercial policy reasons played a role in the construction of the line, passenger traffic has become an important pillar alongside freight traffic.

Baron Viktor Alexander von Erlanger asked Emperor Franz Joseph I for the concession to build a railway line from Raab via Ödenburg to Neufeld an der Leitha (on the border between Trans- and Cisleithanien ). The route should lead from Raab train station via Csorna, Kapuvár, Nagycenk, Ödenburg and Draßburg to Ebenfurth. The final license was granted on October 15, 1872, because Wilhelm Frankfurter had already been granted a prior permit. The actual construction of the line began in 1875, after it had already started in July 1872, but the construction progressed only slowly due to financial difficulties. Erlanger had to convert his company into a joint stock company, which was founded on February 1, 1875 in Budapest as the " Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurter-Eisenbahn " . Under the direction of Gustav Berger, the line was built early enough so that the first section from Raab (Győr) to Ödenburg (Sopron) could be opened on January 2, 1876. Construction of the section from Ödenburg (Sopron) to Ebenfurth began on March 31, 1879, and the entire line from Raab (Győr) to Ebenfurth was finally in operation from October 28, 1879. Initially, the operating license was granted for 90 years.

After the First World War and the breakup of the Danube Monarchy , the Austrian state entered the stock corporation as a concessionaire.

In May 1979 520.079 (a former class 52 war locomotive ) ran one of the last steam-hauled freight trains.

From 1959 on, there was an increase in cross-border freight traffic. The further growth in freight traffic resulted in dieselization, which began with the first use of diesel locomotives in 1972. By 1979 all steam locomotives were displaced. In addition to the dieselization, the Raaberbahn carried out a large-scale modernization of the line. Almost ten years after the disappearance of the last steam locomotive, electrical operation between Sopron and Ebenfurth began on May 27, 1988; on the section between Győr and Sopron, this had already taken place on May 31, 1987. The specialty was the application of the Hungarian traction current system with 25 kV 50 Hz alternating voltage on Austrian territory.

Due to the operation across a state border and especially after the construction of the Iron Curtain , goods were repeatedly smuggled on the Győr – Sopron – Ebenfurth railway line. The largest smuggling of the post-war period was uncovered in October 1980, when cigarettes made in Hungary of well-known western brands were smuggled into Austria and beyond in order to avoid the corresponding tobacco taxes. The rumored damage is said to have been 625 million schillings (about 45 million euros).

Between 2008 and 2016, the Raaberbahn modernized all of the Burgenland stations and stops along the route and equipped them with waiting booths and platforms that are 55 cm above the top of the rails . This makes it possible to change passengers at the same level in the train sets used.

The line is owned by the Raaberbahn, which operates goods and passenger traffic.

Alongside cross-border freight traffic, there is hourly passenger traffic in both directions on the route. The trains operated in cooperation with ÖBB mostly run from Deutschkreutz via Sopron and Ebenfurth to Vienna and from there to Bratislava in Slovakia to the Bratislava-Petržalka train station . In Wulkaprodersdorf there is a connection from Vienna to the Pannoniabahn to Eisenstadt and Neusiedl am See . During the week there are also amplifier trains between Eisenstadt Schule and Wulkaprodersdorf, which have a connection to the trains in the direction of Sopron.

The REX trains running on the route mainly run with class 4744 (Desiro ML cityjet / ventus) and 4124 railcars of the ÖBB. Occasionally push- pull trains with City Shuttle or Wiesel double-decker cars with a Taurus of the 1116 series of the ÖBB are used. Due to the Hungarian electricity system in the Ebenfurth – Deutschkreutz section, the trains used must be multi-system capable . The use of ÖBB trains is due to the operational cooperation between the two railway companies.
