Abstract

Railway in Vojvodina have been built since 1856.According to a peace treaty it became a part of a railway network of a new country in 1918.Rails on that territory were not as destroyed in Vojvodina as they were in Serbia during the World War I but they were damaged and had barely any transporting ability. After the annexation of Vojvodina to Serbia, the existing rails were reconstructed, new rails and railway infrastructure were built and some new rules regarding railway traffic were introduced. During the first couple of years railway system in a new country was not centralized and it was controlled by five different regional sections, one of which was located in Subotica for territory of Backa, Banat and Baranja. In the period from 1923/24 to the World War II the railway system was centralized. Regarding the difficulties and problems that the new country had encountered, the development and the results of a management between the two World Wars were satisfying
