There is no doubt that the railway influenced importantly the whole region of the Sázava Basin, mainly as concerns its economy. It is even very hard to imagine what would the life in here look like if the railway was not here. There are still many places along the Sázava River that are inaccessible otherwise than by train. Building of the Posázavský Pacifik railway was initiated towards the end of the 19th century. Except for its short segment from Prague-Vršovice to Prague-Modřany, was the whole of the railway from Modřany, through Davle, along the Sázava River up to Světlá nad Sázavou built at the turn of the 19th and 20th century.

In the first railway guide from 1897, the Posázavský Pacifik was denoted number 78 and bore a note “opens on the day of announcement”. The note concerned mainly the segment from Skochovice to Jílové due to the delays in the definite trajectory of the rail, which was finally put into operation on 1st May 1900. The railway from Čerčany to Davle and Prague-Vršovice enabled access to the formerly unknown natural beauties of the Sázava lower reach. Thanks to its romantic character and spirited design, the railway is rightly acknowledged one of the prettiest in the Czech Republic. In the period after the World War I, it was a destination of excursions of polytechnic universities every year. The railway has brought access to many places of interest in the region to the tourists.
This romantic railway still leads through the beautiful countryside along the Sázava River, thus enabling to the visitors of the region to wander from a historical monument to the museum, from a village to the town, from a campsite to the guest house and back home. Thanks to the group of enthusiasts, it is possible to enjoy a trip on the historical train with a steam engine or on a historical motor train, very popular for school excursions. The regular “steam” transport lines of the Czech Railways always take the travelers to some interesting cultural event. The historical motor train is available for business events as a place for workshops or company presentation.
