RAILROAD CAR PRODUCTION ADVANCES -- Ljudska Pravica, No 95, 20 Apr 50
The railroad car factory in Rankovicevo produced about 1,000 open
freight cars in 1949. This year the number of freight cars is to increase
even more. In 1949 the factory began production of ten series of railroad
cars with a capacity of more than 20 tons. Thus far, 50 cars with a capacity
of 45 tons were constructed by the factory. The advantage of domestic cars
is that they open on the sides.
This year, the factory also began production of streetcar freight trailers
for Belgrade and industrial cars for the Ironworks in Zenica.
The Dragoslav Djordjevic-Gosa Railroad Car Factory in Smederevska Palanka
is scheduled to produce 300 passenger cars per year. A large shop in the
factory is being rebuilt. The passenger cars, which will be made of light
and hard metal alloys, will be produced serially by the end of 1950. For the
past 2 years, the factory produced mail cars of domestic material, according
to the design of Engineer J. Markovic.
NEW EXPANDED TRAIN SCHEDULE TO GO INTO EFFECT -- Tanjug, No 171, 18-Mar 50
Belgrade, 17 March -- The Ministry of Yugoslav Railroads has issued a
new timetable which will expand the volume of passenger traffic by 20 per
cent. It will go into effect in the middle of May. The number of express
trains on the Belgrade-Zagreb-Ljubljana-Rijeka line will be increased, and
a direct connection between Belgrade and Split will be established. New
rail-motor cars will begin service on the Belgrade-Cacak-Sarajevo line, in
Eastern Serbia, and on the Sarajevo-Adriatic Sea Line. This year, for the
first time, an express will travel between Belgrade and the Kosmet. Moreover,
all lines will provide direct railroad service to the most remote regions, so
that passengers will not have to change cars at junctions.
