Sažetak

In the paper the author outlines from the aspect of the history of institutions the structure and the activity of the Danube-Sava Vicinal Railway Stock Company during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Like the majority of other vicinal railways, the company had its headquarters in Budapest. The stock company’s tasks were performed by: the stockholders’ general assembly, headquarters and the inspecting committee. The company’s railway lines were: Vukovar-Ilača and Šid-Rača-Sava. These private railway lines were exploited i.e. administrated by the state. During the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy the company’s railway lines came under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Administration of the Royal Hungarian State Railways in Pecs. The railway’s purpose was to connect Sava with Danube through fertile Syrmia, as well as to make accessible the famous oak woods of the Petrovaradin Proprietary District Council, which were situated between Morović and Rača. Apart from that the railway line had the direction to cross by Rača into Bosnia and through the rich Bosnian Posavina through Bjeljina and Janja by Glavčica to connect the upper Drina and the main roads that intersect from southern Serbia. More precisely, the plan was to establish a trade-traffic railway link that would connect the entire Podrinje, particularly the rich Serbian Mačva and the fertile Bosnian plain, entering in Rača into the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia and further to world markets (Budapest, Vienna, etc.). The construction of railway opened the possibility for rational exploitation of the vast layers of pebbles lying around Rača. Due to the stock company’s capital of 8.252,00 crowns and being solvent we can conclude that the stock company represented a minor, but successful private vicinal railway.
