The state border–Botovo–Koprivnica–Dugo Selo railway, officially designated the M201 railway, is a 79.692-kilometre (49.518 mi) railway line in Croatia that connects the Croatian city of Dugo Selo, situated east of national capital Zagreb, with the Hungarian rail network.[maps 1] It is part of the Pan-European Corridor V, branch b, which runs from Rijeka to Budapest. The line is fully electrified and mostly single-tracked.[1][2]

In Dugo Selo, the southern terminus of the railway, the line connects to the M102 line to Zagreb and the M103 to Novska and Belgrade. Further junctions exist in Križevci and Koprivnica, to railways and R202 respectively.[3]

Reconstruction of the Dugo Selo-Krizevci section started in 2015 and is expected to be finished before 2024. Once finished, the section will be double-tracked and upgraded to hold maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour.[4]
