The Trnava – Kúty railway is a single-track and electrified main line in Slovakia. It connects the city of Trnava with the municipality of Kúty on the Czech border and runs in the mostly flat to slightly hilly landscape ( Záhorie and Danube hill country ), with the exception of the crossing of the Little Carpathians . It forms an alternative route to the Záhorie region from the rest of Slovakia.

history

The line was created as part of the new connection from Nitra to the border between Kúty and Břeclav ( Emperor Ferdinand's Northern Railway ). The concession was acquired in 1897 by the Magyar Északnyugati helyi érdekű vasút (Hungarian Northwest Local Railway) and the first sections were opened on December 14, 1897. These were the Trnava – Smolenice and Kúty – Jablonica routes. The Smolenice-Jablonica pass with the 900 m long tunnel was opened to traffic on June 11, 1898.

In 1920 the citizens of Senica tried to relocate the route because of the great distance from the existing station. Due to the indecision of the then Ministry of Railways of Czechoslovakia, this project was never carried out.

The electrification was carried out in the years 1980–1982. The first section to be completed was the Kúty – Jablonica section on December 18, 1980, followed by the Trnava – Jablonica section on May 21, 1982.
