Rothschild received permission to build the main line on 4.3.1836. On 7.3.1836, he applied for permission to build a branch line from the Deutsch Wagram station through Marchegg to Bratislava. The railway from Bratislava to Trnava was to connect five royal towns – Bratislava, Svätý Jur, Pezinok, Modra, and Trnava. On 6.3.1839, a building permit was granted for the construction and operation of the railway, which started on 27.9.1840. The operation of the horse railway in the section Bratislava – Trnava was stopped on 10.10.1872, when its conversion to steam was started. The Považská Railway Company commenced operation on 1.5.1873 with the ceremonial departure of a steam train from Bratislava to Trnava. The train consisted of 12 carriages and was pulled by the locomotive Nagy Szombat. The locomotives had three driving axles and were accompanied by two-axle water and coal tenders, and could travel at a speed of 45 km/h. Obverse: On the obverse of the collector's euro coin, there are historical buildings of railway stations with the names BRATISLAVA and TRNAVA, complemented by a fragment of an arched viaduct.
