THE ROLLING STOCK INDUSTRY (IN YUGOSLAVIA)
THE ROLLING STOCK INDUSTRY (IN YUGOSLAVIA)

Summary/Abstract: This branch of industry includes production of locomotives, goods wagons, passengers coaches and other kinds of special rail wagons and vehicles, motor trains, rail buses and trams. It also includes enterprises specializing in the maintenance and repair of rolling stock, which operate either independently or as part of railway enterprises. The beginning of the development of this branch of industry dates back to the construction of the Vienna—Trieste railway line. When the Šentilj—Celje section of the line going through Maribor was built in 1846, a railway supply shop was set up in Maribor, which after a few years, when its services spread beyond the needs of the Maribor railway junction, became a private railway workshop under the name Juzne železnice (Southern Railways). This is the present- day factory Boris Kidrič.
