The railway line between Velké Březno in the Elbe Valley and Úštěk was opened in 1890, and in 1978 the tracks between Lovečkovice and Úštěk were closed and dismantled .
The remaining section between Velké Březno and Zubrnice has been a museum railway since the late 1980s, and historic trains have been running regularly again since 2010. A small railway museum was built in Zubrnice train station, which is run and maintained by an association. Part of this is the station building, which has been renovated based on a historical model and houses many different exhibits from railway history. The association is gradually working on revitalizing the section up to
The museum trains to Zubrnice start at Střekov station on the right bank of the Elbe in Ústí nad Labem and run on weekends from April to October. A two-axle railcar of the M131 “Hurvínek” series is normally used. On weekends during the Czech summer holidays (July and August), the gap between Zubrnice and Úštěk is also closed by a historic bus line that runs after the trains with a Škoda 706 RTO bus . The Railway Museum can be easily combined with a visit to the Zubrnice Open Air Museum, see here.
