Gov't conducts new classification of rail corridors

The Croatian government on Thursday decided on a new classification of railway lines throughout the country, thus changing the terms for Croatia's sections of pan-European corridors.

The Croatian route of the pan-European X corridor starting from the Slovenia-Croatia border via Savski Marof, Zagreb, Dugo Selo, Novska, Vikovci, Tovarnik towards the Croatia-Serbia border will be referred to as the Corridor RH1.

The Croatian route of the pan-European Vb corridor, starting from the Hungarian-Croatian border via Botovo, Koprivnica, Dugo Selo, Zagreb, Karlovac, Rijeka, and Sapjane towards the Croatian-Slovenian border has now the official term the Corridor RH2.

The Croatian route of the pan-European Vc corridor, starting from the Hungarian-Croatian border via Beli Manastir, Osijek, Slavonski Samac and the Craotian border with Bosnia and Herzegovina and then via the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo towards the Croatian border with Bosnia and Herzegovina in the south of that country to reach Croatia's town of Metkovic and seaport of Ploce, is now referred to as the Corridor RH3.

According to this classification, the total length of Croatia's railways is 2,625 kilometres, of which 1,481 kilometres of the rail infrastructure are used for international traffic, 626 for regional traffic and 518 kilometres for local rail traffic.
