The number 8 Győr–Sopron railway line is the most important railway line of GYSEV in Hungary. The Hungarian section is approx. It is 85 km long. The entire 126 km line is single-track, electrified with 25 kV 50 Hz, and together with the 17 stations on it, is owned by the Győr-Sopron-Ebenfurti Railway Co. - in German Raaberbahn AG (old name: Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurther Eisenbahn) - Hungarian - owned by an Austrian railway company with mixed ownership. It received permission for its construction in 1872[9]. Its purpose was to transport grain, sugar beets and peat grown in the Kisalföld. The Hungarian section crosses the county of Győr-Moson-Sopron in an east-west direction and connects the county's two towns with county rights. Permitted speed between Győr and Pinnye is 120 km/h, between Pinnye and Sopron 100 km/h. Print distance: 1435 mm History After the Győr-Graz railway, which was built by ignoring the interests of Győr, the city administration and the Chamber of Commerce embraced the plan for a railway through Győr-Ebenfurt to Sankt Pölten. The goal was to bypass Vienna and bring the Győr grain market into contact with the West in the shortest possible way. In the early 1870s, the ministry granted preliminary work permits to several people for the railway to be built between Győr and Sopron, and in 1872 Baron Viktor Erlanger received a final construction permit. The state only granted the usual 30-year tax exemption to the entrepreneur, who was forced to cover the costs from his own assets. The construction of the railway began in 1873, but it progressed very slowly, which was exacerbated by the Vienna stock market crisis, so the state was forced to make concessions later on. The works accelerated after 1874, but then problems arose in connection with the railway station in Győr. In order for GYSEV to be connected to the Győr state railway station, significant areas from the grain market or the Honvéd Liget would have to be handed over, which neither the Chamber of Commerce nor the city council was willing to agree to. The ministry, fed up with the tug of war, gave permission for the construction of the GYSEV station at a distance of one and a half km from the state railway, to the detriment of local commercial interests. In 1875, the GYSEV joint-stock company was founded to build and operate the railway line. Traffic started on the railway in 1876, but the dreams of Győr did not come true here either. At that time, the city of Győr still felt safe in terms of intermediary trade, but the great race was already underway. In the August 27, 1875 edition of the Győri Közlöny, he wrote that "Vienna has been making efforts for years to overtake Budapest in terms of grain trading, but so far it has not even been able to push the small city of Győr into the background. Győr has all the companies that a thriving grain trade requires. Since time immemorial, trading has been so widespread and enjoys such a good reputation that it cannot be overshadowed. Moreover, traffic is constantly increasing. While in 1866, 3 million, and in 1867, 4 million, mázsa grain was transported from Győr each year. Győr has only one competitor, Budapest, which surpasses Győr's grain turnover by 1 million máz. Despite the fact that Budapest is in the delivery line, Győr stands the test, and the country can be proud of the trade of both. The Viennese will not give the grain trade a new direction, but there is still a lot to do in order to maintain the superiority." In addition to improving traffic conditions, it is necessary to establish grain warehouses. With GYSEV, Győr merchants hoped to expand their grain turnover. Redesigning the original route, the railway line did not connect to the Ebenfurt railway station, but to the Lajtaújfalu station operated by the Déli Vasút (right next to the national border). From here, a tow track that used to be a horse railway led into Ebenfurt. This line section was leased by the railway company together with the station. The Sopron railway station building was completed in 1884. In 1889, the GYSEV railway bridge, on the same piers as the MÁV railway bridge, was put into operation over the Győr section of the Rába. MÁV made it possible for GYSEV passenger trains to enter the Győr railway station directly and depart for Sopron from there. In 1891, the 2 km long Rábaparti siding was also completed. In 1890, GYSEV also introduced zone pricing. This significantly increased its passenger traffic. In 1907, the first direct express train operated by GYSEV left Sopron for Budapest. It operated in reverse, which means you could travel back to Sopron with it the same day. This is how they tried to orient Viennese customers towards Budapest. The new national borders created by the Trianon Peace Treaty in 1920 shortened the length of GYSEV's railway lines in Hungary to 95 km. Almost all of Hungary's bauxite exports to Germany were carried out on this railway line. Passenger traffic was restricted during the Second World War. In 1944 and 1945, the railway line and the Sopron railway station were hit by heavy bomb attacks due to military shipments. In March 1945, retreating German military troops blew up all the bridges on the line. Restoration began in May 1945. Until May of the following year, only one pair of trains could run on this line. Pursuant to the Potsdam Tripartite Treaty, the Soviet Union received 40% of the company's shares. On December 21, 2007, passport checks were stopped at the GYSEV stations in Sopron and Szentgotthárd, and on trains between Fertőszentmiklós and Pamhagen.

Personally I think Budapest Keleti - Békéscsaba or even Lökösháza would be a much better route. It runs all the way to the border with Romania, and we can have regional services with the KISS and FLIRT, as well as a TRAXX and Taurus in MÁV-START livery. There are many other trains I'm not thinking of here that we could add, but was interesting having been on the line on a night train seeing the regional services to Szolnok and the overnight ones beyond. We could also get a branch to Békés right north of Murony.
