The railway line Praha-Vršovice – Praha-Modřany is a railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the kk priv. Bohemian Commercial Railways (BCB) as the Nusle-Modřan local railway . It runs within today's Prague city limits from Praha-Vršovice to Praha-Modřany. The Praha-Vršovice – Praha-Krč section is operated as the main line ("celostátní dráha"), the Praha-Krč – Praha-Braník section has been downgraded to a branch line (“regionální dráha”), as has the further line to Praha-Modřany, the 1995 was classified as a branch line.

history

The concession for the local railway Nusle – Modřan was given to the founders of BCB, the contractors Johann Muzika and Karl Schnabel on May 9, 1881, together with the lines Königgrätz – Wostroměř , Sadowa – Smiřic , Nimburg – Jičín , Křinec – Königstadtl , Kopidlno – Libaň and Nezvěstitz – Miröschau . The new line was to begin at Nusle station of the kk priv. Kaiser Franz-Josephs-Bahn and head south to Modřany. Completion and commissioning of the line was required by law by September 1, 1882. The license was issued until May 8, 1971. The line was opened on March 1, 1882. The BCB carried out the operation itself.

On July 1, 1885, the Nusle – Modřan local railway came to the Austrian Local Railway Company (ÖLEG) as part of a route swap. The BCB received the local railway Smidar – Hochwessely near Jičín , which previously belonged to the ÖLEG. On January 1st, 1894, the ÖLEG was nationalized. The line now belonged to the network of the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB), which had already taken over the management on January 1, 1887.

On September 22, 1897, the route of the local railway Čerčan – Modřan – Dobříš from Modřany to Dobříš was opened.

In 1912, the timetable of the local railway indicated eight mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains between Prague FJB and Wran, the majority of which were connected to and from Čerčan.

Bohdalecký tunel, closed in 1930

After the collapse of Austria-Hungary in October 1918, the route was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). From then on it was administered by the State Railway Directorate (Ředitelství státních drah) in Prague.

In 1926 the line was re-routed near Modřany. Another new line went into operation in 1930 between Praha-Vršovice and Praha-Krč. The tunnel pod Bohdalcem was also left open.

The commissioning of modern motor trains by the ČSD enabled a significant consolidation of the timetable in the early 1930s. The winter timetable from 1937/38 recorded six pairs of passenger trains from Prague to Dobříš and seven more from Prague to Jilove u Prahy or Čerčany on weekdays. Ten pairs of trains were run as a motor train.

During the Second World War , the route lay entirely in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The operators were now the Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). Due to the war, there was now a reduction in train journeys. On May 9, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD.

The old Praha-Modřany zastávka stop (1991)

The branch line to the cement factory in Podol was given up in 1953.

In 1960 the section between Praha-Vršovice and Praha-Krč was completely redrawn. On August 15, 1960, the Praha-Spořilov stop, which had opened on May 19, 1934, was closed.

In 1991, in connection with the expansion of the parallel tram line, the section between Praha-Braník and Praha-Modřany was re-routed. The Praha-Modřany zastávka stop was moved south and completely rebuilt.

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).

In 2002, the service stop Praha-Vršovice depo was set up between the train stations Praha-Vršovice and Praha-Krč. In December 2014, a new Praha-Kačerov stop followed on the same route section.

In the 2013 annual timetable, the route was alternately served every two hours by the S8 (Praha hl.n. – Čerčany) and S80 (Praha hl.n. – Dobříš) passenger trains, analogous to the 2015 annual timetable.

Vehicle use

Today the passenger train traffic is handled with the railcars of the ČD series 810 and their modernized version ČD series 814 . At times when the number of passengers is high, passenger trains hauled by locomotives are also used. They mostly consist of a diesel locomotive of the ČD series 749 and Görlitz double-decker cars . In the past, ČD class 714 locomotives were also seen in front of class 010 sidecars .
