The Kędzierzyn-Koźle-Bohumín railway is a double-track electrified main line in Poland and the Czech Republic . It leads from Kędzierzyn-Koźle ( Kandrzin ) via Racibórz ( Ratibor ) to Bohumín ( Oderberg ).

history

On January 1, 1846, the Cosel - Ratibor line was opened by the Wilhelmsbahn , founded in 1844 . The continuation to Annaberg followed on May 5, 1847, the cross-border section to the Austrian Oderberg , where there was a connection to the Kaiser Ferdinand Northern Railway , was opened on September 1, 1848. As a result, the line was double-tracked and nationalized.

In 1914 , express train stops were Kandrzin , Ratibor and Oderberg , and Ratiborhammer and Nensa for a pair of trains . During the First World War , the Balkansug operated over the route. Since the First World War, the states involved have changed several times: the German-Austrian (Hungarian) border became a German-Czechoslovak one, and in 1938 a German-Polish one, 1939–1945 after the occupation of Poland it was no longer a border, 1945–1992 there is a Polish-Czechoslovakian, since 1993 a Polish-Czech one.

Rudyszwałd stop (2011)

On December 1, 1970, the Kędzierzyn-Koźle-Nędza section - together with the branching line to Rybnik - was electrified. This was followed on December 23, 1982, the continuation to Racibórz and on December 19, 1986 across the border to Bohumín. In the 2015 timetable year, only two pairs of passenger trains ran across the state border to Bohumín, including a direct pair of trains to and from Wrocław. Since December 2015, high-quality long-distance traffic has been running again on the route with two pairs of EuroCity trains to Warsaw. Local trains that previously ended in Chałupki or Wodzisław Śląski on the Rybnik – Chałupki railway line will also be extended across the border. In return, the Wodzisław Śląski – Chałupki line was reactivated for passenger traffic. Since December 2019, the NJ 456/457 pair of trains has once again been used for high-quality long-distance traffic. In addition, with the timetable change in December 2019, a large part of the international long-distance trains between Poland and the Czech Republic will run on this route.
