Zbiroh nákladní nádraží Nákladní nádraží
Zbiroh nákladní nádraží, originally known as Zbiroh railway station, is a historical monument located in the village Kařez. This site has its beginning on the line Praha- Plzeň and was a key hub of the railway network, which served mainly the population of Zbiroha and surrounding municipalities. In 2012, the station was transformed into a freight station because of the construction of the transit corridor, which meant the termination of regular passenger transport.
The establishment of the station was related to the development of railway transport in the Czech Republic at the end of the 19th century, the period of intensive industrialisation and modernization of infrastructure. Originally it was opened as a Zbirov stop in 1882 with the construction of a cargo hold. In 1885, due to the great increase in goods transported and the distance from the original station, the railway station Zbirov became a full stop. In 1912 the second station track was added and the construction of a new building started, which was completed in July 1913. The station name was changed to Zbiroh in 1919.
The railway station went through several stages of development, including the establishment of tracks and station buildings. In the years 1923-1929 important changes took place in the railway arrangement, when the second track was laid in the direction of Pilsen. The line was electrified in 1987 and the safety equipment was replaced.
During World War II, the railway station was often attacked by deep flyers, while on 17 April 1945 the railway wooden warehouse was lit by a burning bomb and burned quickly. In February 1945, Zbiroze stopped the transport of death, which was a shocking experience for local residents.
Since 2012, the railway station has been known as Zbiroh nákladní nádraží and is used for operating the Silo Borek train near Zbiroha. At present, the station has traffic track No 4 of 715 m length and handling track No 6. The station building is owned by an Australian owner who plans to set up a cafe.
Zbiroh nákladní nádraží is an important part of the history of Czech railway transport. Its transformation into a freight station reflects the modernisation of infrastructure and adaptation to new needs. For tourists and historians it is an interesting location that offers a view of the past of railway transport in Bohemia. Visit Zbiroh nákladní nádraží means explore important chapters of Czech history and appreciate its architectural development.

Welcome to the historical monument Zbiroh nákladní nádraží, which you are visiting today in the picturesque Kařez. You are standing in front of a building whose tracks are firmly anchored in Czech railway history. The building, although no longer carrying out its original task, is still blowing up a sense of earlier times when it was full of the life and sound of trains. Note its solid structure, which, although not revealing the festive architectural complexity, tells of its own unique history.
Let's dive into the past. Zbiroh nákladní nádraží has roots dating back to 1882, when it was founded as a cargo hold and Zbirov stop. It was a period of rapid development of the railway network in the Czech Republic, which was intended to combine regions and facilitate transport of goods and people. In 1885 Zbirov turned into a fully-fledged railway station and became an important hub for the inhabitants of Zbiroha and surrounding villages. The railway station served as a life artery that linked local communities to the wider world.
Now pay attention to the architectural features of the building in front of you. Although its creators are unknown, it is worth noting the simple elegance and functionality that characterized many railway structures of that time. The building boasts robust wooden facade, which has endured demanding time conditions and is still an excellent reminder of past generations.
The key events of Zbiroh's history include various changes that the railway station has undergone. In the years 1923 to 1929 important modifications were made to the railway structure, which was an important step in the modernization of the station. These changes reflected the dynamic nature of rail transport in the first half of the 20th century and the increased needs of the region.
The interesting thing that can impress your imagination is that Zbiroh nákladní nádraží was transformed into a freight station in 2012. This transformation was linked to the development of the transit corridor and the termination of regular passenger transport. It is a reminder of how the needs of society and technology change and how historical structures must adapt to new challenges.
