History

In 1836 the Hungarian Parliament decided to build the railway connecting Pest (now Budapest) to Vienna through Pozsony. The Hungarian Central Railway Company started the construction of the line in 1844. The section between Pozsony and Párkánynána was opened for the traffic in 1851. This section of the line was attached to Czechoslovakia in 1920 in spite of the fact that it went all the way through areas with ethnically Hungarian population.
