The Raspenava – Bílý Potok pod Smrkem railway is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated by the Friedland District Railway as a state-guaranteed local railway . It runs in the Smědátal from Raspenava ( Raspenau ) to Bílý Potok pod Smrkem ( Weißbach an der Tafelfichte ).

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 February 15, 1899, the Friedland District Committee in Bohemia received " the requested concession to build and operate a standard-gauge local train from the Raspenau-Liebwerda station of the south-north German connecting line to Weißbach ". Part of the concession was the obligation to complete the line within two years. The new local railway was opened on May 3, 1900.

On January 1, 1925, the Friedland District Railway was nationalized. The line now belonged to the network of the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD).

After the Sudetenland was annexed to Germany in autumn 1938, the line came to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , Reichsbahndirektion Dresden . In the Reich curriculum , the connection was now included as KBS 160k Raspenau – Weißbach ( table spruce ) . After the end of the Second World War on May 8, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD.

On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . The timetable, valid from December 2013, provides for a total of 17 pairs of passenger trains , which run every hour . At the weekend, the trains are tied through as a wing train from Raspenava via the neighboring Liberec – Zawidów line to Liberec . After the route had been served exclusively by ČD class 810 railcars for years, the new ČD class 840 railcars acquired from Liberecký kraj have been in service since December 2011 . The trains run between Raspenava and Bilý Potok pod Smrkem without a train attendant. On weekends, through coaches run between Liberec and Bílý Potok pod Smrkem, which merge between Liberec and Raspenava, with the other part continuing to Frýdlant v Čechách.
