Afterwards, the exploiting of the whole Romanian Railway Network was taken over by 4 Regional Directions located in Bucharest, Cluj, Iaşi and Arad. All this structure changed once the Romanian army was obliged to respond to the sudden attack of the Hungarian troops placed under the authority of the Government led by Béla Kun.
