Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the structure, business activity and the liquidation of the Slavonian Vicinal Railway in the period from 1892 until 1933 when its liquidation was finalised. The headquarters of the stock company during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was in Budapest and based on the decision of the emergency session of its assembly from 24 May 1923 it transferred to Zagreb. The railway lines of the Company were: Osijek-Našice, Našice-Nova Kapela-Batrina, Pleternica-Požega and Požega-Velika. These railway lines were exploited i.e. managed by the state. During the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy the railway lines of the company were under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Administration in Pecs and in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes / Yugoslavia they came under the jurisdiction of the Regional Board of the State Railways in Zagreb. Based on the agreement from 7 February 1931 the state bought off the railway lines of the Stock Company of the Slavonian Vicinal Railway and hence the reason for its existence ceased to exist. t. In 1932 the company entered the process of liquidation, the latter ending on 12 April 1933.
