history

Route near Tuháň (2012)

Mayra shaft (2012)

The first section of the line was built in 1875 as a siding by the Prague Iron Industry Company from the Kladno-Dubí station to the Mayrau shaft . The Barréschacht (Barrův důl) was also connected. From 1888, an almost three kilometer towing railway led from the Mayrauschacht in a north-easterly direction to Hnidousy to the Ronna and Theodorschacht.

The connection to the Zvoleněves – Vinařice railway was established immediately after the nationalization of the Zwolenowes-Smečna Railway Corporation before the First World War. Via a connecting curve at the Mayrauschacht, direct train journeys were now also possible via the siding from Ronna and Theodorschacht in the direction of Zvoleněves.

Travel began on December 3, 1945 with four pairs of trains on the route Zvoleněves – Kladno-Dubí. The train travel times were geared to the shift changes in the mines near Kladno. Between Vinařice and Kladno-Dubí, the trains served the newly built Tuhaň (at the Mayrauschacht) and Hnidousy (later Švermov-Hnidousy) stops.

On May 28, 1982 the last passenger trains ran between Zvoleněves and Kladno-Dubí. The Zvoleněves – Vinařice section was closed and dismantled until 1989. The Vinařice station, on the other hand, was used as a training area for the railway troops of the Czechoslovak Army from 1989 , so that the line from Vinařice to Kladno-Dubí was retained as a connecting railway . Today the company Stavební obnova Železnic uses the site. The branch line to the Ronnaschacht (Důl Gottwald) was in operation until the shaft was closed in 1997 and was subsequently dismantled.
