The railway line Knin – Split is a main line in Croatia, which was built and operated as one of the first railway lines in Dalmatia . It leads from Knin via Perković to Split .

history

In the 1860s, u. a. Bernhard von Wüllerstorf-Urbair decided to build a privately operated railway connection between the heartland of Austria-Hungary and Dalmatia . These plans were not implemented because no financiers could be found. In the 1870s, the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) decided to build these railway lines themselves. In the years 1874 to 1877 the sections from Siverić to Šibenik and Split were built, and by 1888 the connection from Knin to Siverić was also implemented. It was connected to the railway network in 1925 with the completion of the Lika Railway.

As a result of the First World War , the catchment area of ​​the line became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes proclaimed at the end of October 1918 ( Kingdom of Yugoslavia from 1929 ) . On this basis, this route was also incorporated into the railways of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and later into the Yugoslav State Railways . With Croatia's independence in 1991, the route was again transferred to the newly founded Hrvatske željeznice (HŽ) railway company . The northern part of the route was from 1991 to 1995 on the territory of the internationally unrecognized Republic of Serbian Krajina and thus outside the sphere of influence of the HŽ. In the official timetable of the HŽ for the 1994 summer timetable, only traffic offers between Sedramić and Split were shown on this route. During the Croatian War, part of the line was partially destroyed in 1991 and was impassable. After the war it was rebuilt and reopened in early 2001.

Since 2005, the route Zagreb – Split has been served by the Croatian Railways (HŽ) with tilting technology trains of the 7123 series . These trains are known as InterCity Nagibni (ICN), they run significantly faster than the trains previously used and are considered to be more comfortable. In the 2012 annual timetable, the scheduled travel time of these trains between Zagreb and Split was just over six hours, 97 minutes of which were for the Knin – Split section. The long-distance range between Zagreb and Split is (2012) supplemented by several locomotive-hauled rapid and night trains , with a pair of trains and car passenger coach carries. Through car connections to and from Budapest are also offered seasonally, and once a week to Moscow . Long-distance transport services to Šibenik are not offered.

On July 24, 2009, the ICN 521, a tilting train , derailed near the Kaštel Stari station in a tight curve at excessive speed. Six people died and 40 (55 according to other sources) were injured. The reason was that immediately before the train involved in the accident drove on the route, a construction train had not only sprayed the wooden sleepers with a fire protection agent, but also the rails. A greasy film of oil formed there, preventing the tilting train from braking to the permissible speed in front of the curve. During the clean-up work, a train service vehicle braked itself on the oil film and derailed. Nobody was harmed. It took eleven days to clean the rails.
