The Hodonín – Holíč nad Moravou line is a single-track, electrified main line in the Czech Republic and Slovakia . The short stretch branches off the Břeclav – Bohumín railway in Hodonín , crosses the border river March (Morava) and joins the Devínska Nová Ves – Skalica railway in Holíč .
history
Today's main line between Hodonín and Holíč has its origins in a local line that has been running from Göding station (today: Hodonín) as a connecting line to the local tobacco factory since 1889. On March 19, 1888, the corporation of the kk priv. Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn received the concession for the construction and operation of the local railway “from Göding to the local tobacco factory” . On January 17, 1889, the local railway, which only serves goods traffic, went into operation.
The continuation of the existing route across the near Moravian border to Holics in Hungary was approved on October 3, 1890. In the concession deed, the company was obliged to introduce passenger traffic and to complete the new railway at the same time as the Hungarian connecting line. From today's perspective, the stipulation "that the translation of the March River and its inundation area may take place provisionally by means of wooden bridges" seems curious . "
On June 18, 1891, the short, cross-border local railway went into operation. In 1906 the kk priv. Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn was nationalized and the line became the property of the kk Staatsbahnen .
After the founding of Czechoslovakia after the First World War , the traffic connection between the two parts of Bohemia / Moravia and Slovakia was one of the most important tasks of the young state. In connection with this, the local line was also expanded into a main line.
At the end of the 1980s the line was electrified with alternating current of 25 kV, 50 Hz. On November 3, 1987, electric train operations began.
With the timetable change on December 12, 2004, travel on the route was discontinued.
From July 22nd to October 31st, 2019, local public transport trains will run again after almost 15 years. The reason is the full closure of the road I / 51 due to construction work on the border bridge, where it is not possible to divert the intercity bus route there. As a substitute, ten pairs of passenger trains run between Hodonín and Holíč nad Moravou on weekdays and six on weekends, and they also stop in Hodonín zastávka. A class 809/810 railcar is used .
