The Třemešná ve Slezsku–Osoblaha railway is a narrow-gauge railway connecting Třemešná on the Krnov–Głuchołazy line with Osoblaha on the Czech-Polish border. It is one of the three remaining narrow gauge railway lines with regular passenger traffic in the Czech Republic and the last one operated by the state-owned railway company České dráhy.
History
In the 1870s the owners of a sugar refinery in Osoblaha were looking for a railway connection of their town.[1] From a financial point of view, the best alternative was a connection to the railway network in neighbouring Prussia. However, the government in Vienna refused it on political and military grounds. On 14 December 1898 a line from Třemešná was opened. Since 1958 the trains are operated by diesel-electric locomotives T 47.0.[2]
