The Racibórz – Krnov (Ratibor – Jägerndorf) railway was a cross-border line that ran from Ratibor (connection to the “Wilhelmsbahn” Kandrzin – Ratibor ) in a westerly direction via Bauerwitz and Leobschütz to the Austrian and then Czech Jägerndorf until 1918 . Today there is only a short distance behind Racibórz, and only freight traffic.
