The railway line Újezdec u Luhačovic – Luhačovice is a regional railway connection in the Czech Republic that was originally built and operated as a state-guaranteed local railway Aujezd – Luhatschowitz (Czech: Místní dráha Újezd – Luhačovice ). It leads in East Moravia through the valley of the Luhačovický potok from Újezdec u Luhačovic to Luhačovice ( Bad Luhatschowitz ).
According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway ("regionální dráha") since December 20, 1995.
history
On June 17, 1905, the Vice-President of the Regional Culture Council for Moravia, Dr. Cyrill Seifert " granted the concession to build and operate a standard-gauge local railway from the Aujezd-Luhatschowitz station on the Brno – Vlarapass line to the privileged Austro-Hungarian state railway company to Luhatschowitz ". The company's share capital was 568,000 kroner in 2230 ordinary shares and 610 priority shares of 200 kroner each. The route was opened on October 12, 1905. The operations were carried out by the Brno-Chernivtsi operations department of the Austrian-Hungarian state railway company (StEG) on behalf of the local railway Aujezd – Luhatschowitz .
In 1912, the local railway timetable showed five mixed pairs of 2nd and 3rd class trains. It took about half an hour for the ten kilometer route. During the season there was another, accelerated passenger train, which in Aujezd had a direct connection to an express train to and from Brno .
After the First World War, management was transferred to the newly founded Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). On January 1, 1925, the local railway Aujezd – Luhatschowitz was nationalized by law.
During the Second World War , the route lay entirely in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . The operators were now the Protectorate Railways Bohemia and Moravia (ČMD-BMB). On May 9, 1945, the entire line came back to the ČSD. In the 1950s there was a significant consolidation of the timetable, which was due in particular to the use of modern motor trains . In the winter timetable 1958/59 the timetable recorded fourteen pairs of passenger trains, all of which were driven as motorized trains. Two of the trains carried through coaches to and from Prague , and another to and from Brno.
On January 1, 1993, the line was transferred to the newly founded České dráhy (ČD) in the course of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia . Since 2003 it has been part of the network of the state infrastructure operator Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC).
In the 2012 timetable, the route was served by passenger trains every two hours. Further trains condensed the offer to a partial hourly service. There were direct express trains to and from Prague three times a day, and two more to and from Olomouc.
Vehicle use
The local railway Aujezd – Luhatschowitz procured two double -coupled local railway locomotives for their route. In addition to the numbers 200 01 and 210 01, the locomotives were named SERENY and SVOBODA . The vehicles were still in the ČSD's inventory as 200.901 and 212.901 and were only taken out of service after the Second World War . The SERENY (210.901) was preserved as a museum and is now in the National Technical Museum in Prague .
