The Havlíčkův Brod – Pardubice railway is a single-track main line ("celostátní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the Austrian Northwestern Railway (ÖNWB). It runs from Havlíčkův Brod ( Deutschbrod ) via Hlinsko v Čechách and Chrudim to Pardubice - Rosice nad Labem ( Pardubitz-Rossitz ).

history

The ÖNWB received the concession to build the Deutschbrod – Pardubitz line on September 8, 1868 as part of its state-guaranteed main network. The line was initially allowed to be laid out as a single track, although a later double-track expansion for all bridges and tunnels had to be taken into account. Only when the gross yield of 120,000 guilders per mile was exceeded for two consecutive years could the state administration demand the construction of a second track.

Chrudim station (2007)

The line was opened on June 1, 1871.

In the 1900 timetable, three pairs of trains ran the entire route, all of which were connected via Rositz to Liebau on the Prussian border. Other trains ran on partial routes.

After the nationalization of the SNDVB, the line was transferred to the kk Österreichische Staatsbahnen kkStB on January 1, 1908 . After the First World War , the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) took their place .

In 1952 the route had to be relocated as a result of the construction of the Pardubice military airfield. Since then, part of the old route has served as an airport connecting railway.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia .

In the 2011 annual timetable, the passenger trains run approximately every two hours, which is supplemented by additional travel options, in particular between Chrudim and Pardubice. A pair of express trains also runs twice a day on the Jihlava –Pardubice-Rosice nad Labem route. You need about an hour and 50 minutes for the 92 kilometer route, which corresponds to an average cruising speed of only 50 km / h.
