Kopidlno–Bakov nad Jizerou railway

The Kopidlno–Bakov nad Jizerou railway line is a single track regional railway line from Kopidlo to Bakov nad Jizerou in the Czech Republic. It was originally built and operated by the Böhmische Commercialbahnen as the Libáň–Bakov nad Jizerou local railway.[1] It branches off from the JičínVeleliby line at Kopidlno and runs in the Central Bohemian Region via Dolní Bousov to Bakov nad Jizerou, where it joins the PragueTurnov line.

According to a decree of the Czech government, the line has been classified as a regional railway (regionální dráha) since 20 December 1995.[2]
