The railway line Praha – Turnov is a single-track railway line, part of the state railway ("celostátní dráha") in the Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the kk privileged Turnau-Kralup-Prague Railway (TKPE). It runs from Prague along the Jizera to Turnov .

history

On October 23, 1863, Ernst Graf Waldstein , Hugo Fürst zu Thurn und Taxis , Friedrich Leitenberger, Adalbert Lanna , Franz Cerrini de Monte Marchi, Clemens Bachofen von Echt, Ludwig Weydelin, Friedrich Zdekauer Edler von Treukorn, Alexander Schoeller , Johann Liebieg became for J. Liebieg & Comp. and JW Beyer for Jg. F. Kolb " the right to build and operate a locomotive railway from Turnau in the direction via Jungbunzlau to Kralup to connect the south-north German connecting line with the northern state railway and the Buschtěhrad railway ". In addition, the concessionaires were given the privilege to operate a branch line in the direction of Prague. Part of the concession was the condition that construction should begin no later than one year from the granting of the concession and that the route should be completed " and handed over to public transport " no later than three years .

On October 15, 1865, the route was opened with a pageant. One day later, the route began to operate as planned, which TKPE carried out itself.

On August 20, 1868, the TKPE also received the concession to build the branch line from Neratovice to Prague. Part of this concession was the condition that the new line “had to be completed within one year after the opening of the Gemünden – Prague line of the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Bahn ”. The new line was opened on October 28, 1871, before the Gmünd – Prague route of the Kaiser-Franz-Josephs-Bahn . This was only completed on December 14, 1871.

On January 1, 1883, the TKPE was bought by the Bohemian Northern Railway Company . This operated the route from then on with its other lines as a unit. From then on, continuous passenger trains also ran between Prague and Ebersbach in Saxony .

Skaly junction

After the nationalization of the Bohemian Northern Railway Company, the line was transferred to the Imperial and Royal Austrian State Railways in 1908 . After the First World War , the railway came to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) in 1918 .

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

The section between Prague Central Station and the Rokytka junction was replaced by the new four-track connection in December 2008 . The old track has now been shut down.

Train traffic

The route Praha – Turnov is now served by a two-hour express train connection, which ends in Tanvald at the foot of the Giant Mountains . The formerly common connection of trains to Liberec no longer exists since the completion of the parallel R10 expressway .

Passenger trains run today on the routes Praha – Mladá Boleslav and Mladá Boleslav – Turnov. Here, too, there is a two-hour clock schedule, which is condensed into hourly intervals on weekdays.

In freight traffic, the Praha – Turnov connection is the most important feeder line for the Černousy / Zawidów rail border crossing to Poland . In Mladá Boleslav, the automobile manufacturer Škoda Auto is an important freight customer right on the route. The vehicles produced there are mostly transported away in block trains.
