Izera railway

It is part of the former Prussian Zackenbahn,[1] that used to connect Prussia with the Austro-Hungarian Empire via the New World Pass.

After the war, the electric equipment was dismantled and together with the remaining locomotives transported to the Soviet Union as reparation.

Following an exchange of border territories between Czechoslovakia and Poland, the Bohemian part was extended to Harrachov, and that became the new terminal station.

Due to decision of the Common Monitoring Committee of Operational Programme of European Transborder Cooperation Czech Republic - Poland 2007-2013 the execution of the project "Revitalization of the Railway Line Szklarska Poreba - Harrachov" will be provided.

The regular public rail transport across the border started on 28 August 2010.
