The article presents the functioning of Bogatynia Local Railway, which came into being through the division of Saxon Narrow-Gauge Railway (Sächsische Schmalspurbahn Zittau – Hermsdorf) as a result of border changes following World War II. The new territorial division caused creation of three separate railway lines within the borders of Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic (until 1949 – Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany) and Poland. The cross-border rail traffic between Germany and Czechoslovakia did not use these lines anymore. Moreover, the section of the line within the Polish territory was deprived of stations having a connection to a normal-gauge railway. In new geopolitical circumstances, the Bogatynia Local Railway was not launched until 1951, after a connection with the narrow-gauge railway line for coal transport to Turoszów had been established – a normal-gauge link to Turoszów had also been built. However, the functioning of the Bogatynia Local Railway was marred with various problems, which led to its closure in 1961. The Bogatynia–Turoszów section was then replaced with a standard-gauge link.

The creation and development of railways in Prussia in the first two decades of their existence occurred by the private sector. Prussian state established railway law on 3 November 1838, the Berlin–Szczecin railway built relatively early line Berlin–Szczecin (1843) and Stargard–Szczecin (1846). Development of the railway was an important event for the province and Szczecin, affecting the economic, social and political importance. Prussian government has been actively involved in the process of construction of the railway in the early eighties of the 19th century. Local government have been active since 1892, which was related to the new law on local railways construction (Gesetz über Kleinbahnen und Privatanschlußbahnen vom 28.07.1892). Local authorities (eg. provincial assembly, counties, local municipalities) became an active participant in economic life, including the development of narrow-gauge railway infrastructure in Pomerania.
