The Zagreb Glavni kolodvor–Sisak–Novska railway, officially designated the M502 railway is a 116.8-kilometre (72.6 mi) railway line in Croatia connecting Zagreb to Sisak and Novska.[maps 1] Until 2014, the railway was classified as M104.[1]

The railway connects to the M101 and M202 lines at Zagreb Glavni kolodvor, the R102 at Sunja, and the M103 (to Zagreb via Dugo Selo) and the M104 to Vinkovci and Belgrade at the eastern terminus, Novska.[2]

The M502 railway is electrified using a 25 kV 50 Hz AC overhead line system and it is single-tracked.[3][4] The maximum speed along the line varies between 140 km/h (87 mph) and 60 km/h (37 mph).[5]

The line is used for passenger (mainly commuter/regional) and freight traffic.
