vehicles

ACsEV petrol-electric railcar

At the end of 1910, the company had 41 gasoline-electric Weitzer-De Dion-Bouton railcars , 37 matching sidecars , 38 locomotives, 41 passenger cars , 30 baggage cars with service compartments , nine mail cars and 2069 freight cars.

The use of railcars, which began on a trial basis in 1903 and prevailed from 1906, made the company technically one of the most modern in the world. The railcars ran both as express trains and as normal passenger trains, as well as mail trains.

Szeged – Csanádi Vasút

After the First World War, large parts of the network came to Romania through the Trianon Peace Treaty . They were integrated into the Romanian state railway Căile Ferate Române (CFR): operated by CFR since 1923, sold in 1927.
The remaining part in Hungary, almost half, was operated by the Raab-Oedenburg-Ebenfurter Eisenbahn , Hungarian Győr-Sopron-Ebenfurti Vasút (GySEV) since 1923 . Since 1927, the rest of the operation was known as Szeged – Csanádi Vasút ( Szeged – Csanáder Railway ). In 1945 this was taken over by the Hungarian state railway Magyar Államvasutak (MÁV).
