The Radgona line Spielfeld Straß—Radgona—Ljutomer was built by the “South Railway Company” in two parts. The first part between Spielfeld Straß and Radgona was opened in 1885, the second to Ljutomer then in 1890. Ljutomer was initially the terminus of this line and had no connection with other lines until 1924, as during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy it was not connected by rail either to Ormož or to the railway line — Hodoš — Murska Sobota [1907].
