The local railway Sedletz – Kuttenberg – Zruč (also Kuttenberger Lokalbahn ; Czech: Místní dráha Sedlec – Hora Kutná – Zruč ) was a state-guaranteed local railway - stock corporation in today's Czech Republic . The route leads from Sedlec u Kutné Hory ( Sedletz ) via Kutná Hora ( Kuttenberg ) to Zruč nad Sázavou . The company was based in Prague .
history
On January 23, 1882, the " Michael B. Teller company in Prague was granted the right to build and operate a standard-gauge local train from the Kuttenberg station of the Austrian Northwest Railway to the city of Kuttenberg with drag lines to the sugar factories located there" . Part of the concession was the obligation to start construction of the line immediately and to finish it within six months. The company's share capital totaled 1,378,000 crowns.
The line was finally opened on January 10, 1883. The operation was carried out by the Österreichische Nordwestbahn (ÖNWB) for the account of the local railway company.
On February 25, 1904, the company also received the concession to continue the route to Zruč. This section was opened on November 1, 1905. At the same time, operational management was transferred from the ÖNWB, which was planned for nationalization, to the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB). From then on, the company operated as the Sedletz – Kuttenberg – Zruč local railway.
After the First World War, the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) took over the management of the kkStB. On January 1, 1925, the Sedletz – Kuttenberg – Zruč local railway was nationalized by law and the line was integrated into the ČSD network.
The route still exists. (As of 2014)
Locomotives
In 1885, the ÖNWB procured two triple-coupled tank locomotives from Krauss in Linz with the numbers 1087K and 1088K for the Kuttenberger Lokalbahn . When the operating contract with the local railway company ended in 1905, the locomotives came to the local railway Polna-Stecken – Polna Stadt . The kkStB later gave them the numbers 96.05 and 96.06. The ČSD designated them as 300.501 and 300.502 in 1924, but decommissioned them by 1925.
The kkStB, operating from 1905, procured a locomotive of the kkStB series 178 , one of the kkStB series 99 and two of the kkStB series 97 on behalf of the Sedletz – Kuttenberg – Zruč local railway . The locomotives had the road numbers 178.114, 99.69, 97.224 and 97.242.
