Quick Facts

History & Context

Founding and Early Railway Expansion Commissioned in the golden age of Central European railroads, Lužná u Rakovníka Train Station opened its doors in 1872 as part of the burgeoning Rakovník–Beroun line. Built under the auspices of the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways, the station became a strategic junction connecting Prague’s western approaches to Bohemia’s interior. Standard‑gauge tracks (1,435 mm) were laid with wrought‑iron rails resting on oak sleepers and crushed stone ballast, exemplifying mid‑19th‑century civil engineering practices. The original timetable featured four daily pairs of mixed trains, each hauled by steam locomotives of the Class 333 series, capable of tender‑first reversals in the stub terminal. Early signal operations relied on mechanical semaphores and a manually operated lever frame housed in a timber signal cabin beside Track 2, marking Lužná u Rakovníka as a technical forerunner in regional railway signalling.
