Zagreb Commuter Rail
Zagreb Commuter Rail is the rapid transit, suburban/commuter railway network that provides mass-transit service in the city of Zagreb, Croatia and its suburbs. This suburban rail system, introduced in 1992 on the route Savski Marof - Zagreb Glavni kolodvor, Zagreb Main Station - Dugo Selo, is operated by Croatian Railways (, HŽ) and mainly covers the eastern and western parts of Zagreb, using the M102 railway (Croatia), M102 corridor between Dugo Selo and Zagreb Main Station and M101 railway (Croatia), M101 corridor between Zagreb Main Station and Savski Marof. In 2010 the route was extended by 3 more stations, Sutla, Laduč and Harmica, using the corridor L102 between Savski Marof and Harmica. Rolling stock Since the system started operating, the lines have been serviced by HŽ series 6111 electric multiple unit, EMU's built by Ganz. In 2011, a prototype of a new series of Electric multiple unit, EMU trains for suburban traffic of the City of Zagreb was handed over to the ...

Transport In Zagreb
Transport in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, relies on a combination of city-managed mass transit and individual transportation. Mass transit is composed of 19 inner-city tram lines and 120 bus routes, both managed entirely by Zagrebački električni tramvaj, commonly abbreviated to ZET. Croatian Railways manages the parallel Zagreb Commuter Rail system. The city is served by the Franjo Tuđman Airport, which carries more than 3,300,000 passengers per year. Zagreb Airport is connected to the Zagreb Bus Station via Pleso Prijevoz shuttle and to Eugen Kvaternik Square via bus line 290 which connects the aforementioned square with the satellite city of Velika Gorica via the Airport. Road transport Zagreb drivers typically use a wide network of avenues and other arterial streets. Due to the shape of the city, most of the trips done in the city are on the east-west relation, causing high traffic on roads like Vukovar Avenue, Dubrovnik Avenue and Zagrebačka Avenue.

HŽ Series 6112
HŽ series 6112 is a class of low-floor electrical multiple units manufactured by the Croatian company Končar - Electric Vehicles (), operated by Croatian Railways () and the Railways of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A total of 55 units were manufactured for Croatian Railways, with the first units being produced in 2011. The Railways of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina also ordered one intercity train, with no indication of ordering additional units. Croatian Railways operates their fleet on suburban, regional and InterCity routes. The prototype made its first test run on the Zagreb – Dugo Selo line on July 3, 2011. The construction, design and driving characteristics of the low-floor electric train enable optimized operations and improved passenger comfort on regional services depending upon the length of the route. Passenger space is uniform along the entire train, without partitions and stairs. Floor height is optimal for 550 mm high platfor ...

Electric Multiple Unit
An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on intercity, commuter, and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation, and are used on most rapid-transit systems. Being quieter than diesel multiple units (DMUs) and locomotive-hauled trains, EMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing nearby residents. In addition, tunnel design for EMU trains is simpler as no provision is needed for exhausting fumes, although retrofitting ...

HŽ Series 6111
The HŽ series 6111 is an electric multiple unit used by Croatian Railways (), formerly the class JŽ 411 of ''ŽTP Zagreb'' during the period of Yugoslav Railways. The vehicles were built by Ganz Mávag, Hungary (production started in 1976). Most of the sets were later modernized by TŽV Gredelj between 2002 and 2015, including both interior and exterior modifications. They are popularly nicknamed ''Mađar'' (Hungarian) in reference to their country of origin. The 6111 series EMUs are made of three cars: 4111 and 5111 unpowered cab cars that differ in types of electrical components contained, and the middle 6111 car that provides power to the trainset. The power car supplies power to the motors using a thyristor rectifier. The trains can be operated in sets of up to three units. Between 1992 and the mid-2010s, the principal purpose of the units was to serve Zagreb Commuter Rail where they operated exclusively, in addition to some other electrified lines in short to medium dista ...

Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor
Zagreb Glavni kolodvor ( Croatian for ''Zagreb main station'') is the main railway station in Zagreb, Croatia. Located south of the city's main square, it is the largest station in Croatia and the main hub of the Croatian Railways network. History An 1890 act of the Royal Hungarian Government authorised the building of the main station and maintenance shop in Zagreb. Construction of the long neoclassical style station building began in 1891 and was overseen by Hungarian architect Ferenc Pfaff. Sculptural works were undertaken by the Hungarian sculptor Vilim Marschenko. The station opened on 1 July 1892. It is one of the largest public buildings built in 19th century Zagreb. Reconstruction works were undertaken in 1986–87 (just before the 1987 Summer Universiade) and again in 2006.
