Užhorod - Antalovce

The 750 mm gauge military railway line was originally built during the second half of 1916 for the transport of wood from the military saw-mill in Antalovce to Uzhorod. At Antalovce the railway line joined a horse track. The operation of the railway begin in 1917 and was licensed only for the transport of wood. The railway line laying out length was 36,635 km, the operation length was 34,507 km, the maximum rate was 28‰ while the minimum curve radius was 60 m. Turn-tables were built at either end of the line.

The line began at the railway station Uzhorod Radvanka, which was nearly one km away from Uzhorod's normal gauge station. The two stations were connected by a siding leading to a stone quarry. The first part of the railway line led through a wine growing region across Seredne, before turning North through the valley of Viela and continuing to Antalovce.

The army controlled the operation until May 1918 (KKHB - military field railway), after which the railway was operated by MAV and this cooperation ensured the railway line's survival at The Ministry of the War' expense. On the 3rd January 1919 the municipality of Uzhorod took over the railway for public transportation without state permission. The Czechoslovakian army assumed control of the railway on the 21st June 1919 and then devolved the railway to the CSD. The Ministry of the National Defence took over the railway again in June 1920, but by the end of September 1921 the track was under CSD operation again and on the 1st October 1922 CSD become its permanent owner. The saw-mill with the horse track came under The Directory of State Forests and Farms in Uzhorod.

It was originally planned to operate three locomotives of the type XXX bf produced by the locomotive works Krauss & Co. Linz, but in the end the railways received only two - factory numbers 7196/1916 and 7255/1917. The 3rd, 7195/1916, was never delivered and locomotive 7196 left the line on the 17th August 1917. The KKHB operated locomotive no. 2001 (Hohenzolern 2032) from the 22nd August 1917 until the 15th February 1918 and no. 4001 (Budapest 3094/1914) from April until the 22nd July 1918. In 1919 there were three locomotives in the property of the Railways. The first, marked only with the factory numbers: 510 (Cs2t 510/1899), was originally delivered to the firm J. Przeworsky in Bory in 1899. This tender was produced by the locomotive works Orenstein & Koppel in Drewitz near Berlin. The second locomotive - no. 2624 (Cs2t 2624/1911), was a classic narrow gauge Hungarian tender - rather then a wide-spread type 78 of the Budapest locomotive works, delivered initially to the manor of the count Winkler in Csirés. The third locomotive was originally marked as no. 7255. In 1922 locomotive U 25.0 was temporarily sent to the railway which also owned 8 personal wagons, 2 box freight wagons and 37 open cars.

In the beginning the operation on the railway line was limited to one train at a time. After 1921 two pairs of mixed trains traveled daily, occasionally completed with freight trains as needed. After motorization on the 22nd May 1937 operation continued with two pairs of personal motor rolling-stocks and one pair of mixed trains. In 1925 the locomotives were remarked: 510 as U 35.201, 2624 as U 35.301 and 7255 as U 44.101. Locomotive U 37.001 (Krauss Linz 3638/1897) was delivered from Jindrichuv Hradec in March 1927 and in 1930 U 37.005 (BMMF - later CKD 175/1906) arrived from Teresva. The last locomotive to be delivered was U 37.010 (Krauss Linz 3817/1898) from Jindrichuv Hradec in 1931. Concurrently with the arrival of the class U 37.0 locomotives, local engines with a lower weight came to the railway one by one from the Borza valley. Thus besides the U 37.0 class locomotives in service here there would always be one example of the lower weight loco for assistance purposes.

In 1937 the motor coaches M 11.003 and M 11.004 arrived from Berehov. In 1938 - 1939 the railway line with its locomotives and cars came under the MAV administration. The operation on the railway line ended in the 1970's.
