The Krnov – Głuchołazy railway is a single-track main line in the Czech Republic and Poland , which was originally built and operated by the kk privileged Moravian-Silesian Central Railway (MSCB). It runs in a north-westerly direction parallel to the Czech-Polish border from Krnov ( hunting village ) to Głuchołazy ( goat neck ).

history

On April 21, 1870, the MSCB received the concession for its main line from Olomouc via Jägerndorf to the state border at Leobschütz . Part of this concession was also the construction of several branching branch lines. Lines to Olbersdorf with a possible continuation to the Prussian Neisse , to Troppau , Römerstadt and Würbenthal were approved .

On October 1, 1872, the licensed route from Olmütz via Jägerndorf to Hennersdorf was initially provisionally opened for freight traffic. Travel began shortly afterwards - on October 15, 1872. The cross-border section Hennersdorf – Ziegenhals went into operation on December 1, 1875.

On January 1, 1895, the MSCB was nationalized. The owner and operator were now the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). The 1918 timetable recorded three pairs of passenger trains on the Jägerndorf – Olmütz route via Mährisch Schönberg , which, like today, also ran via Ziegenhals in the direction of Freiwaldau and Hannsdorf .

After the First World War, the line was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD).

After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Opole . The connection as part of KBS 151 Brieg-Neisse-Jägerndorf-Schönbrunn-Witkowitz was included in the Reichskursbuch .

After the end of the Second World War , the Czechoslovak route section came back to the ČSD, while the section located in Silesia became part of the route network of the Polish State Railways (PKP). Cross-border traffic was not resumed, but ČSD trains ran again in the privileged through traffic on the Krnov – Jesenik route across Polish territory. Because of the change of direction, all trains in Głuchołazy had an operating stop to transfer the locomotive, passengers were not allowed to get on or off the train until 2006.

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

Today the route is only used by České dráhy passenger trains in the direction of Jesenik. The direct express trains (rychlík) , which had dominated traffic for many years, ran every four hours on the Ostrava-Svinov-Jeseník route and were replaced by express trains (Sp) on the Krnov-Jeseník route with the same frequency. In Krnov, however, there is a connection to the Olomouc-Krnov-Opava-Ostrava express trains. In addition, there are passenger trains that consolidate the timetable section between Krnov and Jindřichov ve Slezsku and also serve the intermediate stops Krásné Loučky and Linhartovy, which the express trains only pass through. All trains are now driven by the 810 series or its modernized version, the 814 "Regionova" series .
