On October 15, 1872, Emperor Franz Joseph I granted the concession for the construction of a railway line from Raab (GyÅr) via Oedenburg (Sopron) to Ebfurth in Lower Austria. In 1876 the route between Raab and Oedenburg was opened, and in 1879 the remaining section followed until Ebenfurth. Since 1988, the entire line has been electrified.Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurter Eisenbahn AG, now known as Raaberbahn (GySEV in Hungary), connects the two countries of Austria and Hungary and continues to act as an important link in public transport.
