On Tuesday afternoon, 16^th January 2024, the jubilee 800th Mattoni express set off from the Vojkovice nad Ohří station. By this train, ČD Cargo, in cooperation with the carrier Railsystém, ensures the transport of non-alcoholic beverages of the Mattoni 1873 company from the town of Kyselka to the warehouse in Mostkovice near Prostějov.

Transport of the beverage by rail resumed in August 2012, and eight hundred trainsets have since replaced the journey of over 22 800 trucks and saved over 9 200 tonnes of CO2. The use of ČD Cargo services is proof of Mattoni 1873's social responsibility and confirmation of the reliability and ecological and energy efficiency of rail freight transport.

Transporting Mattoni drinks by rail has had a tradition since 1895, when a railway siding was built from the Vojkovice nad Ohří station to Kyselka. Approximately 1 000 wagons with mineral water were transported along the line annually. The siding was used by freight trains until 1998. The operation was resumed in 2012 after a four-month renovation of the siding and a series of demanding negotiations.
