Eastern National Railway (Austria)

The Imperial and Royal Eastern National Railway (German: k.k. Östliche Staatsbahn, ÖStB) was a national railway company in the Austrian Empire. It was founded in 1850 for the purpose of developing the railway network in the crown land of Galicia and Lodomeria. The company relied on the base of the Kraków–Upper Silesia Railway (German: Krakau-Oberschlesische Bahn; Polish: Kolej Krakowsko-Górnośląska), opened in 1847.
