The Namysłów – Kępno (Namslau – Kempen) railway was a railway line in the Polish Voivodeships of Opole and Greater Poland .

history

On October 2, 1911, the first section of the branch line, Kempen - Reichthal , was opened by the Prussian State Railways , the remaining line on November 2, 1912. In 1914, the timetable saw four continuous pairs of trains, one Kempen West – Kempen, and a moor contactor on Sundays and public holidays –Kempen and a weekday single train Kempen West – Kempen.

Because the eastern part of the route came to Poland after the First World War , the route between Buchelsdorf and the now Polish Reichthal was closed; it was reopened under German occupation during World War II . In the 1990s, passenger and freight traffic ceased.
