The Púchov – Horní Lideč railway is a double-track, electrified main line in Slovakia and the Czech Republic . It connects the Slovak industrial city of Púchov with the Czech rail network in Horní Lideč in the White Carpathians .

history

A first project for the construction of a railway connection "from the stations Leipnik and Weißkirchen of the kk priv. Kaiser Ferdinand-Nordbahn via Wsetin and the Lisbon Pass to Pucho" originated in the beginning of the 1860s. The concession was given on October 23, 1863 to Messrs. Emil Raikem from Wsetin and JB Even from Brussels. The law stipulated that the Leipnik - Pucho connection should go into operation within four years; the line to Sillein was to be continued within a further three years . However, construction did not begin. The concession issued in 1863 was finally declared expired on March 24, 1871 "because of non-compliance with the concession-related obligations" .

After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, one of the most important tasks of the young state was to adapt the traffic routes, which were oriented towards the old capitals of Vienna and Budapest , to the new traffic needs. The main problem was the poor condition of the railway lines over the former border between Austria and Hungary . In this context, the old project of a railway connection over the Lisbon Pass was taken up again. After two years of construction, the line was opened on May 2, 1937 as a double-track main line.

The line was electrified in 1960 as one of the first lines in Slovakia.
