Railway Vysočany - Těšnov;commencement, progress, downfall
Balák, Ondřej ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Šindelář, Jan (referee)
The aim of the present thesis is to describe the origin, evolution and decline of the end section of the railway line Vysočany-Těšnov. In more general terms it provides an introduction into the construction of the railway lines at the end of the 19th century in Prague, records specific preparatory and construction works in the section of Vysočany-Těšnov, and briefly informs on the issue of passenger and freight transport on this line. Railroad buildings and other structures which have been connected with the above line, as well as some of those which have survived to the present are analysed within the thesis. The final chapter focuses on the question of the destruction of the Těšnov railway station building. Another approach to this issue is an attempt to compare the conditions of the railway body and its surroundings at the time of the operation and at present. To this end, period and present-day maps were employed, in addition to the field research carried out on the still preserved remaining parts of the railway line.
