The Třemešná ve Slezsku - Osoblaha railway is a narrow gauge line connecting Třemešná ve Slezsku on the Krnov - Głuchołazy line with the border town Osoblaha. It is one of the three remaining narrow gauge railway lines with regular passenger traffic in the Czech Republic and the last one operated by the state-owned railway company České dráhy.

In the 1870s the owners of a sugar refinery in Osoblaha were looking for a railway connection of their town.[1] From a financial point of view, the best alternative was a connection to the railway network in neighbouring Prussia. However, the government in Vienna refused it on political and military grounds. On 14. December 1898 a line from Třemešná was opened. Since 1958 the trains are operated by diesel-electric locomotives T 47.0.[2]
