The Hranice na Moravě – Vsetín line is a double-track, electrified main line ("celostátní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the Austrian Local Railway Company (ÖLEG) as the local line Mährisch Weißkirchen – Wsetin . It runs from Hranice na Moravě to Vsetín and is now part of a national long-distance connection between the Czech Republic and Slovakia .

history

On July 27, 1882, the Austrian Local Railway Company received the concession for the local railway from Pohl to Wsetin. Part of this concession was also the construction of a branch track from Wallachisch Meseritzsch to the glass factory in Krasna. The ÖLEG was also obliged to set up branch lines to Mährisch Weißkirchen and Sillein if “ the interest and amortization of the capital to be used for this, be it through freight contracts or other services of the interested parties, will be secured in some other way. “The construction period was set to be two years from the granting of the license.

On December 16, 1884, the concession deed was changed again. The route should now begin in Mährisch Weißkichen. Pohl's original project was only to be implemented once the necessary profitability was ensured. At the same time a branch line from Wallachian Meseritzsch to Rožnov was licensed. October 1, 1885 had been set as the completion date.

On November 1, 1884, the first section from Mährisch Weißkirchen (Hranice na Moravě) to Wallachisch Meseritzsch (Valašské Meziříčí) was put into operation. The ÖLEG carried out the operation itself. On July 1, 1885, the rest of the route to Wsetin (Vsetín) followed.

On December 24, 1887, the line was transferred to the Kaiser Ferdinands-Nordbahn (KFNB), which had already been in charge of operations on October 1, 1887. The concession was transferred from the ÖLEG to the KNFB on April 30, 1891 by “ announcement of the Ministry of Commerce ”. The KFNB was released from the obligation to build the Pohl – Krasna branch line.

After the nationalization of the KFNB in ​​1906, the line belonged to the network of the kk state railways (kkStB). In 1912, the local railroad's timetable indicated a total of four pairs of trains running over the entire route. A fifth drove only between Krasna and Wsetin. They needed about two and a half hours for the 46-kilometer route.

After the First World War , which Austria-Hungary lost , the line became the property of the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). Immediately afterwards, the ČSD began planning to continue the route across the former national border to Slovakia. On October 21, 1928, the ČSD opened the new line to Bylnice , which connected there to the existing Brno – Vlárský průsmyk (–Trenčianska Teplá) line . Another new line finally went into operation on May 2, 1937 between Horní Lideč and Púchov .

As a result, the former local line between Hranice na Moravě and Vsetín was expanded into a double-track main line. The winter timetable 1937/38 recorded a total of seven pairs of passenger trains, four of which were connected to Bylnice.

The line was electrified at the end of the 1950s. Electrical operation began on January 25, 1960 (Hranice na Moravě – Valašské Meziříčí) and September 12, 1960 (Valašské Meziříčí – Vsetín).

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 2012 timetable, passenger trains ran at approximately two-hour intervals , which was reinforced by additional trains on weekdays. Some of the trains were tied through from Přerov to Horní Lideč. Express trains on the Prague – Vsetín route also ran every two hours. Some of these trains were tied through to Slovakia. The train pairs Ex 120/121 and Ex 128/129 had the longest route on the route between Prague and Košice .

From 2018, the route is to be fundamentally renewed with a budget of 16 billion crowns. Part of the project is also a re-routing between Hranice na Moravě and Milotice nad Bečvou in order to shorten the curved route there. The line speed between Hranice na Moravě and Valašske Meziříčí is to be increased to 160 km / h and between Valašske Meziříčí and the state border to 120 km / h. By the end of 2020, the section between Hustopeče nad Bečvou and Valašske Meziříčí is to be expanded by 1.54 billion crowns to 160 km / h.
