Sažetak
In the paper the authors outlines from the aspect of the history of institutions the structure and the activity of the Vinkovci-Županja-Savska obala Local Railway Ltd. in the timeframe from its establishment in 1900 to 1906, when together with the Osijek-Đakovo-Vrpolje Vicinal Railway Ltd. was merged into a new stock company entitled The United Podravina-Posavina Vicinal Railways Ltd. As with most vicinal railways, the company’s headquarters was in Budapest. The stock company’s tasks were performed by: the stockholders’ general assembly, headquarters and the inspecting committee. The Vinkovci-Županja-Savska obala railway line was owned by the stock company, but it was exploited i.e. managed by the state. It was put in service on 30 September 1901. One of its main goals was to dominate the Bosnian trade and transfer its products to a Croatian market. Apart from that, various agricultural goods cultivated in the fertile Slavonian area where the aforementioned railway lines went were shipped, as well as timber from rich old oak woods anticipated to be harvested. Even though the company was financially solvent, according to its exploiting and financial indicators it ranked among the weaker vicinal railways in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia. After the merger the newly established stock company was one of the more important, more successful and more profitable vicinal railways in that area.
