Rack railway from Tanvald to Kořenov is awaiting major repairs

Thanks to the repair, the structural and technical condition will be improved and safety will be increased on the steepest line in the country. An important part of the project is the revitalisation of the rack railway in the intermediate sections and its reinstallation in the Dolní Polubný station.

The works will include the replacement of wooden and steel sleepers with ypsilon-shaped steel sleepers in the entire section from Tanvald to Kořenov, including the main track in the Desná and Dolní Polubný operating control post. Furthermore, the rails will be replaced, the gravel bed will be cleaned by machine, switches will be repaired in the Desná, Dolní Polubný and on the branch line to the Ornela company premises.

The builders will also restore the drainage and rehabilitate the rock cuts. They will also replace crossing structures at seven level crossings and repair platforms at Desná, Dolní Polubný and Kořenov stops.

The closure, which will start on 15 April next year, will be used by the Polish infrastructure manager to replace the rails in the section from the state border to Szklarska Poręba Górna station and to secure two level crossings by safety installation.
