The railway line Trieste – Hrpelje – Kozina was a railway line in the area of today's Slovenia and Italy .

Geographical location

The railway line Trieste – Hrpelje-Kozina ran on the Istrian peninsula , branched off in Hrpelje-Kozina from the railway line Divača – Pula opened in 1876 to the west and led to Trieste .

history

The Trieste – Hrpelje – Kozina line was licensed in 1883 for the Istrian State Railways . The aim of the railway construction was to create a state-owned line from Trieste to Vienna and Prague away from the private southern railway . However, the Divača - Ljubljana section of the Southern Railway Company had to be used . Construction began on November 26th, 1885. On July 6th, 1887, the railway line was opened. The line was operated by the Kk Staatsbahnen as a local railway.

After the First World War and the break-up of Austria-Hungary , Istria - and with it the railway line - became part of the Kingdom of Italy . Railway traffic was now operated by Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (FS). After the end of World War II , Yugoslavia received the Istrian peninsula and the route was cut by the new border between Yugoslavia and Italy. Its eastern end, which fell to Yugoslavia , now belonged to the Yugoslav State Railways (JŽ). The line lost all traffic significance due to the new demarcation and was closed in 1960. Today a large part of the route has been converted into a cycle path.

Technical parameters

The line was designed in standard gauge and single-track . Its length from the Campo Marzio railway station , the state railway station , to Hrpelje-Kozina was 18.924 km. In addition, within the city of Trieste, there was another 2.7 km from Campo Marzio train station to the southern train station , the so-called Riva-Bahn . The track system was a total of 21.6 km long.
