The Zaprešić–Čakovec railway, officially designated as the R201 railway, is a 100.6-kilometre (62.5 mi) partially electrified single-tracked railway line in northwest Croatia that connects the towns of Zaprešić and Čakovec, opened in 1886[1] in former Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.[2][maps 1][3] The section between Zaprešić and Zabok is also a branch part of Pan-European Corridor X. Most of the corridor passes through Hrvatsko Zagorje region, connecting the largest part of Međimurje and Hrvatsko Zagorje with Zagreb, spanning through four counties. The line separates at the Zaprešić station from the M101 railway. It is used for passenger (regional) and freight traffic.

The R201 railway also connects to the R106 line (towards Krapina, Đurmanec and Croatia-Slovenia state border) in Zabok, to the L202 line at Hum Lug, the L201 and R202 lines in Varaždin and the M501 and L101 lines in Čakovec.[4]
