The railway line Olbramovice-Sedlčany is a regional railway line in the Czech Republic , originally as a country guaranteed local railway Wotic-Selčan ( Czech Místní dráha Votice-Selčany built) and was operated. The line branches off the České Velenice – Praha railway line in Olbramovice and leads to Sedlčany in Central Bohemia .
According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.
history
On May 16, 1893, the gentlemen “ Dr. Jacob Martinek, Alois Madera and Leopold Pollák ... granted the requested concession to build and operate a standard-gauge local train from the Wotic station of the Kaiser Franz-Joseph-Bahn to Selčan ”. Part of the concession was the obligation to start construction of the line immediately and to finish it within a year and a half. The duration of the concession was set at 90 years. The route was opened on October 1, 1894. The kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB) ran the business on behalf of the owners.
The capital of the stock corporation, founded in 1893, totaled 140,000 guilders a.s. in 700 ordinary shares of 200 guilders each. The company was based in Prague .
In 1912, the local railway's timetable indicated three mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains every day. Another only operated at the “Voticer and Beneschau annual markets” . The trains took about an hour for the 17-kilometer route.
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, management was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). On January 1, 1925, the local railway Wotic – Selčan was nationalized by law and the line was integrated into the ČSD network.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the use of modern motorized trains enabled the timetable to be compressed and travel times to be significantly reduced. The winter timetable 1937/38 recorded seven continuous pairs of passenger trains, four of which were motorized trains. The shortest travel time between Olbramovice and Sedlčany was now only 32 minutes.
During the Second World War, the line remained in operation of the now Protectorate Railways of Bohemia and Moravia (BMB-ČMD). In contrast to many other routes, the timetable was only limited to a minor extent, and the motor trains also remained in use despite the allocation of liquid fuels.
After the Second World War, the ČSD gradually condensed tourist traffic to up to ten pairs of trains a day, which have been run exclusively as motorized trains since the early 1950s.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).
Since December 11, 2016, travel on the route has been integrated into the Esko Praha line system as line S98 . A change in the transport offer and the quality was not associated with this. In Olbramovice there is a connection to the trains on the route (Praha -) Benešov u Prahy - České Budějovice.
Locomotives
The operational kkStB procured two locomotives of the kkStB series 97 for the owner's account . They had the company numbers 97.74 and 97.75.
Since the late 1970s, travel has been carried out exclusively with the ČSD class M 152.0 (ČD 810) railcars .
