The Schaboglück – Priesen railway was a single-track main line in today's Czech Republic , which was originally built and operated by the Pilsen – Priesen (–Komotau) railway as part of a supra-regional railway connection between Pilsen and Komotau . It ran from Schaboglück (today Žabokliky), a train station on the Pilsen – Dux line to Priesen (today Březno u Chomutova) and had a connection there to the Prague – Komotau line of the Buschtěhrad Railway Company (BEB).
history
On April 21, 1870, a law passed the concession to build and operate a locomotive railway from Pilsen to Priesen (Komotau) following the new lines of the kk priv. Buschtiehrader train, including branches via Saatz to the kk priv. Aussig-Teplitzer Railways granted to Brüx on the one hand and to Dux on the other
The line was opened on August 8, 1873. After only a few years of operation, the connection was abandoned on July 1, 1879 and later dismantled. Since then, all direct trains between Pilsen and Komotau have to use the ten kilometer longer connection via Saatz (now Žatec).
Part of the route has been used again by the electrically operated connecting railway of the Tušimice power plant since the 1960s .
The route today
Even today there are a number of relics of the almost forgotten railway line. At Nechranice ( Negranitz ) the embankment and the pillars of the great Eger bridge have been preserved. There is still a brick underpass near the former Sobiesak stop. Part of the route is now below the water level of the Nechranice dam, which was built in the 1960s .
