Zebrzydowice-Petrovice u Karviné railway border crossing

Zebrzydowice-Petrovice u Karviné railway border crossing, Railway border crossing in Zebrzydowice and Petrovice u Karviné, Poland and Czech Republic.

The Zebrzydowice-Petrovice u Karviné line is a railway connection between Poland and Czech Republic featuring two parallel tracks with overhead electric power and automated signaling systems. Daily trains pass through this crossing, managed jointly by both countries' rail operators.

A railway border crossing existed here in the Second Polish Republic, with customs handled at Zebrzydowice on the Polish side and Petrovice u Bohumina on the Czechoslovak side, on the Dziedzice–Bohumin customs rail route. In October 1945 a transit control point of the Border Protection Troops was set up at Zebrzydowice as a category I railway point. The crossing was abolished on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement.

The Polish and Czechoslovak customs offices stood in Zebrzydowice and Petrovice u Bohumina respectively, and the station serving as the handover point was in Zebrzydowice. Under the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, a category I small-scale border crossing operated here daily during the passage of passenger trains, with crossings based on permits.

The crossing no longer exists: it was abolished on 21 December 2007 under the Schengen Agreement, so trains between Katowice and Ostrava run through without border checks. The checkpoint stood on railway line no. 93, with passenger formalities handled at Petrovice u Karviné and freight at both border towns.

The crossing lay on railway line no. 93, and customs and passport checks were split between the two stations: the Polish customs office at Zebrzydowice and the Czechoslovak one at Petrovice u Bohumina. In the Second Polish Republic, permits for crossing came in three kinds: single-use, permanent and business passes.
