history

OKD Doprava Train (2008)

The origins of the company go back to the mining railways of the Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn (KFNB) and other private coal railways in the Ostrava-Karviná mining area. The individual mining companies were nationalized after the Second World War and merged into the Ostravsko-karvinskékomouhelné doly group (translated: Ostravsko- Karvinské coal mines) (since 1950: Ostravsko-karvinské doly - OKD). In 1952 OKD founded OKR Doprava , which took over the operation of the mining railways and coking plant connection railways. OKR-Doprava was initially a railway infrastructure company, only gradually took over the railway operations from the Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) and the individual mines.
